PHOTON COUNTING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY USING A COMBINATION OF CONTRAST AGENTS FOR SIMULTANEOUS VISUALIZATION OF ANATOMY AND A PLURALITY OF MATERIALS |
摘要 |
A method for performing Photon Counting Computed Tomography (PCCT) using a combination of contrast agents includes configuring a PCCT device with a plurality of threshold values corresponding to a plurality of contrast agents. These contrast agents comprise a long-acting blood pool contrast agent and a nanoparticle contrast agent. The PCCT device is used to perform an imaging scan on an anatomical subject in the presence of the plurality of contrast agents to acquire image data. Next, the imaging data is processed into a plurality of datasets based on the plurality of threshold values. The datasets comprise a first dataset corresponding to the long-acting blood pool contrast agent, and a second dataset corresponding to the nanoparticle contrast agent. |
