A method, comprising: using a pre-scan image to define a scan field of view for a region of interest of a patient to be scanned for at least one image acquisition of a series of image acquisitions of a scan plan, wherein the scan plan includes a planned scan field of view for the next image acquisition; performing an image acquisition of the series based on a corresponding scan field of view for the image acquisition; and determining, via a processor, a next scan field of view for a next image acquisition of the series based on available image related data, characterised by: generating a simulated pre-scan image based on image data from the performed image acquisition; registering the pre-scan image and the simulated pre-scan image; generating a correlation signal indicative of a correlation between a location of the region of interest in the pre-scan image and a location of the region of interest in the simulated pre-scan image; and i) adjusting the planned scan field of view for the next image acquisition, based on the correlation signal, to determine an updated next scan field of view for the next image acquisition; or ii) determining a quality metric based on the correlation signal; generating indicia indicative of whether the quality metric satisfies a predetermined quality threshold; and displaying at least one of the quality metric or the indicia. using a pre-scan image to define a scan field of view for a region of interest of a patient to be scanned for at least one image acquisition of a series of image acquisitions of a scan plan, wherein the scan plan includes a planned scan field of view for the next image acquisition; performing an image acquisition of the series based on a corresponding scan field of view for the image acquisition; and determining, via a processor, a next scan field of view for a next image acquisition of the series based on available image related data, characterised by: generating a simulated pre-scan image based on image data from the performed image acquisition; registering the pre-scan image and the simulated pre-scan image; generating a correlation signal indicative of a correlation between a location of the region of interest in the pre-scan image and a location of the region of interest in the simulated pre-scan image; and i) adjusting the planned scan field of view for the next image acquisition, based on the correlation signal, to determine an updated next scan field of view for the next image acquisition; or ii) determining a quality metric based on the correlation signal; generating indicia indicative of whether the quality metric satisfies a predetermined quality threshold; and displaying at least one of the quality metric or the indicia. generating a simulated pre-scan image based on image data from the performed image acquisition; registering the pre-scan image and the simulated pre-scan image; generating a correlation signal indicative of a correlation between a location of the region of interest in the pre-scan image and a location of the region of interest in the simulated pre-scan image; and i) adjusting the planned scan field of view for the next image acquisition, based on the correlation signal, to determine an updated next scan field of view for the next image acquisition; or ii) determining a quality metric based on the correlation signal; generating indicia indicative of whether the quality metric satisfies a predetermined quality threshold; and displaying at least one of the quality metric or the indicia. i) adjusting the planned scan field of view for the next image acquisition, based on the correlation signal, to determine an updated next scan field of view for the next image acquisition; or ii) determining a quality metric based on the correlation signal; generating indicia indicative of whether the quality metric satisfies a predetermined quality threshold; and displaying at least one of the quality metric or the indicia.
