ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling a relative distance between a patient's body and a camera head in a medical imaging system is disclosed. The apparatus comprises (a) a light source provided at one side of a field of view, which is defined by a camera surface of the camera head, and (b) a light detector provided at the other side of the field of view. The light detector is adapted to detect a light beam emitted by the light source. The apparatus includes means for adjusting a relative distance between the patient's body and the camera surface by sensing an interruption or disturbance in the light beam caused by the patient's body approaching the camera surface to take a picture. A method of controlling a relative distance between a patient's body and a camera head in a medical imaging system is also disclosed.
