ABSTRACT:
A method (200) for setting up and performing a medical imaging session of a subject using a gamma camera (12, 52) includes selecting (208) an imaging procedure on an input terminal (72). A procedure table (76) is electronically accessed to retrieve at least one of: (1) an identification (210) of a collimator (30) to be used with a detector head (14, 54) in the selected imaging procedure; and (2) an initial imaging position of the detector head (14, 54) for the selected imaging procedure. A currently mounted collimator that is currently attached to the detector head (14, 54) is electronically identified. At least one of: (1) loading (216) the identified collimator onto the detector head (14, 54); and (2) positioning (220) the detector head in the identified initial imaging position, is automatically controlled.
