Title:
METHODOLOGY AND APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING VOLUME PERFUSION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004174249
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To calculate a volume perfusion in spatially static internal organs using an imaging system (10) of computer tomography (CT).
The methodology includes a stage (62) to determine a position of an area detector (18) to cover the spatially static internal organs within an imaging domain of the imaging system at every view angle of the area detector, the stage (64) to collect two or more projection data indicating a living tissue dynamics in the spatially static internal organs by driving CT imaging system in cinema mode, the stage to process the projection data and the stage (68) to calculate the volume perfusion in the internal organs using reconstitution of the projection data indicating the living tissue dynamics.
