Abstract
A scanning system for obtaining an optimal image of a selected part of a patient, wherein the selected part varies cyclically over time. The scanning system comprises (1) scanner for scanning a cross-section of a selected part of the patient to generate a time-wise series of images of the cross-section; (2) image processing submodule for analyzing the time-wise series of images to determine a state of the selected part as shown in each image in the time-wise series of images; (3) image selection submodule for selecting the optimal image from the time-wise series of images based on the state of the selected part in the optimal image; and, (4) memory for storing the optimal image.
