    Abstract: A system (100) for determining flow parameters of a lumen (110) in a hyperemic state induced subsequent to a contrast agent injection (Inj 1) into the lumen in a basal state, is provided. The system comprising one or more processors (120) configured to: determine (S110), based on received angiographic data representing the injected contrast agent and/or received injector data representing the injected contrast agent, a temporal window (TH0, TH1) representing a duration of the induced hyperemic state; and output (S120) a signal (Sh) indicative of the temporal window (TH0, TH1).

    Abstract: A device (10) for controlling an image acquisition of a multi-slice computed tomography system (1), MSCT, is disclosed. The device comprises an input (11) for receiving projection image data from the MSCT (1), an output (12) for controlling operation of the MSCT (1) and a processor (13). The processor (13) is adapted for controlling the MSCT to acquire a large volume localizer radiograph, and for defining an organ region in the localizer radiograph that delimits an organ of interest. The processor is adapted for acquiring a large volume helical CT scan of the subject, in which an X-ray cone angle is increased when the organ region in the subject is translated into the examination volume and decreased when the organ region is translated out of the examination volume.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of measuring a blood flow parameter in a vasculature, is provided. The method includes: analyzing spectral CT projection data to isolate from the spectral CT projection data, contrast agent projection data representing the flow of the injected contrast agent; sampling the contrast agent projection data at one or more regions of interest in the vasculature to provide temporal blood flow data at the one or more regions of interest; and calculating, from the temporal blood flow data, a value of one or more blood flow parameters at the one or more regions of interest.

    Abstract: A system (100) for providing a normalised microcirculatory resistance value for a vessel (110), is provided. The system includes one or more processors (120) configured to: compute (S110) a microcirculatory resistance value for the vessel (110) based on a transit time (TT) taken for an injected bolus to travel between a proximal position (Posa) in the vessel, and a distal position (Posd) in the vessel; and divide (S120) the computed microcirculatory resistance value by a transit length (dT) representing a length of the vessel between the proximal position (Posa) and the distal position (Posd), to provide the normalised microcirculatory resistance value.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (10) and related method for planning a tomographic image acquisition of an object to be imaged by a tomographic imaging scanner (20). The system comprises an input (12) for receiving a 3D pre-scan image of the object and a camera system (14) for capturing 3D image information of the object. The system comprises a processor (16) for determining corresponding image features in the camera image and the pre-scan image. The processor determines an image transformation that relates the corresponding image features to each other, such that the object as represented by the pre-scan image can be transformed to the orientation, position and/or deformation of the object represented in the camera image. The processor plans the image acquisition, in which the pre-scan image is used to determine parameters including scan range. An output (18) outputs a signal representative of the determined plan.
