PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for adjusting injection protocols with respect to each individual patient.SOLUTION: A step is included for specifying a patient transfer function based on data specific to the patient, wherein the patient transfer function predicts enhancement at desired level, which is output from one or more regions of interest in an individual patient, in response to a predetermined input. A step is included in which, when a fluid containing a contrast-enhancing fluid is diffused, by using scanning data obtained by test-scanning the one or more regions of interest, the output of the enhancement level due to the diffusion of the fluid is determined in synchronization at a plurality of points from each of the one or more regions of interest. By using at least several operation data obtained through the test scanning, the patient transfer function is updated, and a predetermined input is determined through a numerical optimization technique. Injection protocols for individual patient is determined when the predetermined input is input in the patient transfer function, thereby generating the enhancement at desired level in the one or more regions of interest. It is preferable that the injection protocols are managed in relation to diagnostic imaging procedure. |
