Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for scanning a patient in an imaging system. The imaging system may include at least one camera directed at the patient. The systems and methods may obtain a plurality of images of the patient that are captured by the at least one camera. Each of the plurality of images may correspond to one of a series of time points. The systems and methods may also determine a motion of the patient over the series of time points based on the plurality of images of the patient. The systems and methods may further determine whether the patient is ready for scan based on the motion of the patient, and generate control information of the imaging system for scanning the patient in response to determining that the patient is ready for scan.
