Adaptive Bolus Chasing Computed Tomography Angiography
Synchronization of the contrast bolus peak and CT imaging aperture is a crucial issue for CTA. It effects the CTA imaging quality and the necessary amount of contrast dose. In this paper, we propose an optimal adaptive bolus chasing controller. The controller estimates and predicts the unknown two dimensional bolus density on line and then determines the optimal control actions. Tracking errors...
متن کاملBolus chasing computed tomography angiography using local maximum tracking method
Tracking bolus peak position is a crucial issue for computed tomography angiography(CTA). In this paper, a local maximum tracking method is proposed and tested using real patient data. The method uses a second order polynomial to approximate bolus density function locally. By estimating the local maximum density position at next sampling time, bolus peak trajectory is closely followed. Experime...
متن کاملAdaptive bolus chasing computed tomography angiography: Control scheme and experimental results
In this paper, a new adaptive bolus-chasing control scheme is proposed to synchronize the bolus peak in a patient's vascular system and the imaging aperture of a computed tomography (CT) scanner. The proposed control scheme is theoretically evaluated and experimentally tested on a modified Siemens SOMATOM Volume Zoom CT scanner. The first set of experimental results are reported on bolus-chasin...
متن کاملDose Reduction on Computed Tomography Angiography Using Adaptive Control Techniques
With the advent of multi-slice computed tomography (CT) scanner and the sophisticated CT reconstruction algorithm, CT Angiography (CTA) is increasingly used to evaluate patient with vascular diseases (Fleischmann et al., 2006; Chow & Rubin, 2002; Rubin at al., 2001). It has many advantages over the conventional catheter angiograms: 1) non-invasiveness, 2) short acquisition time, 3) multiple vie...
متن کاملDose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
