Abstract
A chest X-ray system comprises a camera for capturing video of the patient to be imaged and an X-ray imaging head and X-ray detector. The camera, the X-ray imaging head and the X-ray detector can be translated. The head of the patient is first identified and the chin of the head is identified. The chin is then used as a reference point for translating the camera to a position for chest X-ray imaging.
