Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for displaying to an operator an attenuation map of a filter relative to a current location of an anatomical feature of a subject; and in response to the anatomical feature being within a region of the attenuation map, prompting an operator to reposition the subject. In this way, centering of the anatomical feature relative to an attenuation system may be facilitated for improved image quality.
