ABSTRACT:
In general, the invention relates in general to a determination of a position of a patient who is located in a position provided for the creation of an image according to a medical imaging procedure. According to the invention, the position of the patient is determined automatically based on two complementary body directions of the patient that can be entered by the user with respect to a surface image of the examination area of the patient. In particular, a line is positioned with a computer mouse for each body direction in the image for the identification of the two body directions. In the context of this invention, a corresponding method and a corresponding device are claimed.
