A control apparatus is disclosed, for a medical examination apparatus, for controlling a first injection of contrast agent for an examination, a breathing command and a recording of an examination image of an examination area of a patient after a circulation time has elapsed. In at least one embodiment, the control apparatus includes a control unit for controlling the start of the injection after the start of the breathing command. This makes it possible to provide reliable evaluation capability for the examination images that are produced, even for examinations with a circulation time which is short in comparison to the breathing command, for example perfusion examinations.

1. A control apparatus for a medical examination apparatus, the control apparatus comprising:
a control unit including a processor and a memory with computer-readable instruction stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
control a breathing command,determine a delay time for an injection of a contrast agent for performing a medical examination of an examination area of a patient, from a difference between a duration of the breathing command and a circulation time, the delay time being a time after the start of the breathing command and before the injection, the injection of the contrast agent being the first injection for the examination, the circulation time being less than or equal to the duration of the breathing command and the circulation time being a time after a start of the injection until a time just before the contrast agent reaches the examination area, the examination not preceded by any injection of a test bolus,control the start of the injection based on the determined delay time, andcontrol a recording of an examination image of the examination area of the patient after the circulation time has elapsed.
