SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLOW RATE COMPENSATED ACQUISITION PARAMETERS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING

摘要

Systems and methods are provided that acquire image data of a first location of a region of interest (ROI) when located in a field of view of a medical imaging system as a contrast material injected into the ROI passes through the first location. The systems and methods further determine from the image data of the first location when a first contrast metric is reached, and after determining the image data of the first location, position the second location of the ROI in the field of view of the medical imaging system. The systems and methods further acquire image data of the second location as the contrast material passes through the second location, and determine from the image data of the second location when the contrast material reaches a second contrast metric.

1. A method comprising:
acquiring image data of a first location of a region of interest (ROI) when located in a field of view of a medical imaging system as a contrast material injected into the ROI passes through the first location, wherein the contrast material successively traverses from the first location to a second location of the ROI, the second location being spaced apart from the first location; determining from the image data of the first location when a first contrast metric is reached; after determining the image data of the first location, positioning the second location of the ROI in the field of view of the medical imaging system; acquiring image data of the second location as the contrast material passes through the second location; and determining from the image data of the second location when the contrast material reaches a second contrast metric.
