Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for adaptive scan control. In one embodiment, a method for an imaging system includes performing, with the imaging system, a first contrast scan of a subject including injection of a contrast agent to the subject; processing projection data of the subject acquired during the first contrast scan to measure a contrast signal of the subject at a monitoring area; estimating a target acquisition timing for a first acquisition of a second contrast scan of the subject based on the contrast signal; and performing, with the imaging system, the second contrast scan of the subject, with the first acquisition performed at the target acquisition timing and without performing any monitoring scans between the first contrast scan and the second contrast scan.
