Abstract: The invention relates to an image display apparatus for displaying an image like a three-dimensional medical image of an object. A template providing unit (3) provides a template defining display parameters for displaying the image based on anatomical features of the object, and an anatomical feature detecting unit (4) detects an anatomical feature in the image. A display parameter determining unit (5) determines a display parameter defining, for example, a desired view, based on the detected anatomical feature and the template, and a display unit (8) displays the image by displaying, for example, the desired view, in accordance with the determined display parameter. This allows the image display apparatus to show the image on the display in a desired usual way as defined by the template, even if in the originally provided image the object is shown in an unusual way.

Abstract: A method includes 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, performing an image acquisition of the series based on a corresponding scan field of view for the image acquisition, and determining, via a processor (120), a next field of view for a next image acquisition of the series based on available image related data.
