- Processor determines the position of the X-ray tube based on the direction the subject is facing
- X-ray tube is controlled to irradiate X-rays from the determined position
Original Abstract Submitted
A medical device is described. The medical device includes a gantry including an X-ray tube that can rotate on a path centered on a rotation axis and an X-ray controller that controls the X-ray tube, a table on which a subject can lie, and at least one processor. The medical device executes a first scan on the subject, where the processor executes operations including determining a first position on the path for arranging the X-ray tube for the first scan based on the direction the portion of the subject body to be imaged is facing, and controlling the X-ray tube by means of the X-ray controller such that the X-ray tube irradiates X-rays from said first position.
