Patent ID: 7894877

Claim:
A system, comprising: an imaging system programmed to acquire image signal data from an object being imaged, the imaging being based on one or more image acquisition parameters, the object having a device inserted therein; a device tracking system programmed to acquire device tracking signal data associated with the device inserted in the object; a processor; a memory; and an interface to connect a group of logics, the group of logics comprising: logic programmed to track the device from the device tracking signal data and to determine one or more device properties from the device tracking signal data, where at least one device property is a velocity measurement for the device; and logic programmed to automatically adjust one or more of the image acquisition parameters based, at least in part, on the one or more device properties, the one or more image acquisition parameters comprising: image slice position, slice orientation, slice thickness, slice rotation, scan pattern, field of view, image resolution, type of acquisition, tip angle, image contrast, temporal resolution, spatial resolution, bandwidth, trajectory, TR, and TE.
