    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing a quality of images generated by a computed tomography (CT) system. In one example, an initial assessment of contrast timing and flow through different anatomical regions of a patient is performed, and based on the initial assessment, different visualization schemes are applied to the different anatomical regions of a reconstructed image, where each visualization is optimized for assessing a different anatomical region. The visualizations may increase a contrast between diseased tissues and non-diseased tissues of the different anatomical regions, and may include color maps (e.g., heat maps and/or probability maps) and/or color overlays based on spectral decomposition information. The different visualizations may be combined into a single 2D image, where each anatomical region (e.g., organ, bone, etc.) is displayed in high contrast, and where aspects of various anatomical regions may be highlighted or colorized to visualize specific information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing a quality of images generated by a computed tomography (CT) system. In one example, an initial assessment of contrast timing and flow through different anatomical regions of a patient is performed, and based on the initial assessment, different visualization schemes are applied to the different anatomical regions of a reconstructed image, where each visualization is optimized for assessing a different anatomical region. In particular, color maps (e.g., heat maps and/or probability maps) and/or color overlays based on material decomposition information may be superimposed on contrast-optimized images, where the color maps accentuate a contrast between diseased tissues and healthy tissues. An automated report may be generated including a first visualization based on a first scan, and a second visualization based on a second, earlier scan, to show a progression of a disease of the patient.
