The control unit performs control of a position adjustment operation for adjusting a position of the X-ray detector such that a distance from a surface of a subject model serving as a model of a surface shape of the subject to the X-ray detector becomes a predetermined distance by moving the X-ray detector toward or away from the surface of the subject model. | 2022-07-21 |
20220225954 | VIRTUAL DETERMINATION OF BASELINE IMAGES IN CT PERFUSION MEASUREMENT - A CT perfusion data determination method is described. In the CT perfusion data determination method, raw X-ray data affected by contrast agent and generated by way of a spectral or multi-energy CT image acquisition method is recorded from an examination region, a plurality of images having been acquired from the examination region at successive time instants. Based on the recorded raw X-ray data, a virtual baseline image is determined by calculating virtual native image data through the application of a material decomposition. Finally a temporal course of a contrast agent concentration in the examination region is determined based upon the raw X-ray data affected by contrast agent and the virtual baseline image. A CT perfusion measurement method is also described. Furthermore, a CT perfusion data determination facility is described. Moreover, a computed tomography system is described. | 2022-07-21 |
