ACQUISITION PROTOCOL ASSESSMENT APPARATUS

摘要

A method includes generating, via a dose estimator (208), a dose map indicative of an estimated dose deposited for a subject based on acquisition protocol parameter values of an acquisition protocol of an imaging system (100), and generating, via a noise estimator (210), at least one of a noise map indicative of an estimated image noise based on the acquisition protocol parameter values or a contrast-to-noise map based on the noise map and an attenuation map. The method further includes displaying, via a display (216), the dose and noise maps in a human readable format.
