Abstract: An X-ray imaging system uses an X-ray source to emit an X-ray beam for exposing a desired radiation field. A camera is configured to capture a current image of the radiation field and to display a current image of the radiation field before the exposure is activated.

Abstract: The present technique provides a system and method for efficiently customizing an imaging system, such as a medical diagnostic imaging system. Based on images typically produced by one or more imaging systems, the present technique forms a plurality of image subject matter groups each having a plurality of related image types/views and one representative image type/view. Each customer is then provided with a plurality of predefined image style options for each of the plurality of representative image types/views. The predefined image style selected for each of the plurality of representative image types/views is then applied to each of the plurality of related image types/views in the respective image subject matter group. The imaging system is then automatically customized based on the foregoing predefined image style selections.
