DETERMINING A CONFIGURATION OF A MEDICAL X-RAY IMAGING SYSTEM FOR DETECTING A MARKER DEVICE

This document relates to technologies of determining a configuration of a medical imaging system comprising an x-ray source and an x-ray detector mounted on a gantry and an x-ray source collimator for shaping the x-ray beam emitted by the x-ray source, wherein at least one of the x-ray source and the x-ray detector is movable along the gantry. The configuration of the medical imaging system comprises the position of the x-ray source, the position of the x-ray detector and the settings of the x-ray source collimator and is to be used for capturing a marker image, wherein the position of the marker device can be calculated using the marker image.
