Abstract: An operating method for an X-ray machine is disclosed for carrying out a preliminary examination by using a contrast agent, in the case of which a number of heartbeats are determined within a time interval between a first instant of a contrast agent administration and a second instant of a maximum in a concentration of the contrast agent. An operating method for the X-ray machine is also disclosed for carrying out a main examination by using a contrast agent, in the case of which the scanning of the examination region is not started until the number of heartbeats coincides with a preset value such that the scanning is performed at a high concentration of the contrast agent inside the examination region, without the need to adapt the value to the heart rate currently present.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing tomographic pictures of a patient with the aid of a tomographic system by using contrast medium injections. The patient is firstly injected with a defined test bolus, while the temporal concentration profile of the contrast medium in at least one body region is determined in at least one scanning plane. The functional parameters of a prediction model that maps or at least approximates the relationship between the profile of a contrast medium injection and the temporal profile of the contrast medium concentration in the body region are determined from the measured profile of the contrast medium concentration in relation to the profile of the test bolus injection. After the specification of a desired contrast in the body region, the profile of a contrast medium injection that is required therefore is automatically calculated in temporal relationship with the scan, and the start of the tomographic scan and the start of the contrast medium injection and the profile thereof are started automatically in a fashion temporally tuned to one another.

Abstract: In a method and device for planning a medical imaging, a number of quality parameters that associate a desired image quality with the image exposure are imported into an image acquisition of an examination region that can be executed by means of an image acquisition apparatus. A number of image acquisition parameters are determined and, using the image acquisition parameters, an achievable image quality of the image exposure is concluded under consideration of an apparatus variable. The achievable image quality is compared per image region with the desired image quality and, if the achievable image quality falls short of the desired image quality, a shortfall indicator is output relative to the image region.
