ABSTRACT:
A system and method of diagnostic imaging is provided that includes positioning a subject in an imaging device, collecting positioning information of the subject from at least one sensor disposed in proximity of the imaging device, and determining a relative position of the subject within the imaging device from at least the position information. The present invention automatically selects a proper attenuation filter configuration, corrects patient centering, and corrects noise prediction errors, thereby increasing dose efficiency and tube output.
