A method includes dynamically varying a data acquisition sample rate between at least two data acquisition sample rates during a contrast enhanced perfusion scan based on a level of contrast in image data generated during the scan. A system includes a computed tomography scanner and a console that controls the scanner based on a scan protocol, wherein the console dynamically varies a data acquisition sample rate of scanner during a contrast enhanced perfusion scan based on a level of contrast in the image data generated during the scan. A method for optimizing dose of a scan includes reducing a data acquisition sampling rate during at least a sub-portion of the scan in which a state of interest is not being scanned.

Dynamic acquisition sampling rate for computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging

A method includes receiving a signal indicative of a single user selected imaging protocol for scanning a patient. The imaging protocol includes parameters for two or more of a bone mineral density, a fat composition, or an aortic calcium imaging procedures. The method further includes performing a single scan of the patient using the single user selected protocol. The method further includes generating a single set of image data for the two or more of a bone mineral density, a fat composition, or an aortic calcium imaging procedures.

Single scan multi-procedure imaging

A system includes an insufflator () and an imaging system (). The imaging system () includes a console (). The console () and the insufflator () are in communication. The console () controls operation of the insufflator ().

Colonography

A method includes receiving imaging data generated by an imaging system (100) for a scan performed utilizing an imaging protocol with parameters that are based on a plurality of different imaging procedures; processing the imaging data using at least one algorithm corresponding to at least one of the plurality of different imaging procedures; and presenting the processed imaging data.
