MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647087900 A) filed by Koninklijke Philips N. V. on July 17, 2026, for Patient Monitoring During A Scan.
Inventors include Krueger, Sascha; and Senegas, Julien, Thomas.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: An imaging system is provided for capturing images of a patient during a medical scan using a medical scanner having a scanning system and a patient support. A camera is fixed relative to the scanning system and captures images of the patient support. Within the captured images, a direction of patient support movement corresponds to a fixed vector direction. In response to patient support motion, a motion field calculation is performed between sequential captured images. Areas with a motion field parallel to the fixed vector direction (and hence substantially no motion perpendicular to the fixed vector direction) are identified as patient setup features. This information can be used in various ways as part of an automated workflow solution.
