Abstract
A system and method are provided for creating an image including quantified flow within vessels of a subject. The method includes providing a single-sweep, three-dimensional (3D) image volume acquired from a subject during a single pass of a computed tomography (CT) imaging system as the subject receives a dose of a contrast agent and determining a phase shift corresponding to pulsatile contrast in vessels within the single-sweep, 3D image volume. The method further includes quantifying a flow through the vessels within the single-sweep, 3D image volume using the phase shift and generating a report including indicating flow through the vessels within the 3D image volume.
