Abstract:
1. A medical diagnostic imaging system, the system comprising: a gantry; a detector support operatively connected to the gantry; a detector operatively connected to the detector support; an imaging controller controllably connected to the gantry, the detector and detector support; an object model reader dataset in the controller, the object model reader dataset storing as objects data related to attributes of the gantry, detector and detector support; a motion compute dataset defining the kinematic relationship and range of motion between the gantry, the detector support and the detector; objects within the range of motion of the gantry, detector and detector support as defined in the kinematic relationships, the objects modeled in the object model dataset; and a collision detect processor in the controller for performing real time collision analysis between objects in the model reader dataset, the collision detect processor in data communication with the controller, the object model dataset and the motion compute dataset.
