Abstract

Systems and methods for scan preparation are provided. The systems may obtain a first parameter set of a subject to be scanned by a medical device acquired before a scan is performed on the subject. The first parameter set may relate to a physiological motion of the subject acquired before the scan is performed on the subject. The systems may predict, based on the first parameter set and an estimation model, a second parameter set of the subject. The second parameter set may relate to the physiological motion of the subject. The systems may determine at least one scan parameter for the scan based at least in part on the second parameter set. The systems may cause the medical device to perform the scan on the subject based on the at least one scan parameter.
