    • Method for assessing a position of a patient with respect to an automatic exposure control chamber, AEC chamber (11, 12), for a medical exam, wherein a patient is positioned between an X-ray source and the AEC chamber (11, 12); comprising the steps:—acquiring (S10) an X-ray image (32) of at least part of the patient, wherein the AEC chamber is configured for detecting a radiation dose of the X-ray source;—determining (S20), by the control unit, a position of the AEC chamber (11, 12) with respect to the patient from the acquired X-ray image (32);—determining (S30), by the control unit, an exam protocol performed on the patient dependent on the medical exam to be performed on the patient and determining, by the control unit, an ideal position of the AEC chamber (11, 12) with respect to the patient dependent on the exam protocol, wherein the ideal position relates to a position of the patient relative to the AEC chamber (11, 12), in which the detected radiation dose is reliable for the medical exam; and—determining (S40), by the control unit, a position deviation of the position of the AEC chamber from the ideal position of the AEC chambers; characterized in that determining, by the control unit, the position deviation comprises the steps:—segmenting at least an anatomical structure (21, 22) of the patient in the X-ray image (32) thereby determining at least one segmented anatomical structure (21, 22); and—determining the position deviation dependent on the at least one segmented anatomical structure (21, 22);—determining an overlap of the at least one segmented anatomical structure (21, 22) with the AEC chamber (11, 12); and—determining the position deviation dependent on the determined overlap.
