    Abstract: A positioning system (10) for positioning a patient (101) for diagnostic imaging is provided. The system comprises a sensor arrangement (12) with at least one sensor (14, 16) configured to provide a sensor signal indicative of at least one body parameter of the patient (101), a controller (18) configured to determine a value of the at least one body parameter based on the sensor signal of the at least one sensor (14, 16), and at least one actuatable support (20) configured to move at least one of an arm (105) and a leg (107) of the patient with respect to a torso of the patient. Therein, the controller (18) is configured to actuate the at least one actuatable support (20) depending on the determined value of the at least one body parameter to move at least one of the arm and the leg relative to the torso of the patient, such that the patient is guided to a posture for diagnostic imaging.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasound imaging guidance system (20) for guiding an operator of an ultrasound imaging system (10) comprising an ultrasound probe (11), the ultrasound imaging guidance system comprising a transceiver (23) adapted to receive target ultrasound probe pose information generated by a remote ultrasound imaging support system (30), said target ultrasound probe pose information being derived from a data stream transmitted to the remote ultrasound imaging support system, said data stream including a sequence of ultrasound images (15) generated with the ultrasound probe and an indication for each ultrasound image of the actual pose (16) of the ultrasound probe when capturing said ultrasound image; a processor (21) communicatively coupled to the transceiver and programmed to generate a virtual image (17) of the ultrasound probe in a pose corresponding to the target ultrasound probe pose information; and a display device (25) communicatively coupled to the processor and adapted to display the virtual image. Also disclosed are an ultrasound imaging support system (30) and associated methods and computer program products.
