Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging system having a patient support arranged for pivoting movement about a pivot axis and linear or sliding motion along a support axis transverse to the pivot axis is provided with a device for measuring the location of a patient feature to be imaged. The measured location is used to define coordinates for positioning the patient support. These coordinates desirably are used to automatically move the patient support from a loading position to an imaging position where the feature will be properly aligned with the field axis of the imaging magnet. The system simplifies patient positioning.
