Abstract: The method of performing CT imaging by injecting the contrast medium into the object includes: setting a region of interest (ROI) in a scout image of the object; acquiring X-ray projection images by detecting X-rays that have passed through the ROI; determining a difference between pixel values of at least one first X-ray projection image acquired before an injection of the contrast medium into the ROI and pixel values of at least one second X-ray projection image acquired after the injection of the contrast medium into the ROI; and determining whether to initiate a diagnostic CT scan by comparing the difference with a threshold.
