Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for adaptive scan control. In one embodiment, a method includes, upon a first contrast injection of a first contrast bolus, processing acquired projection data of a subject to measure a contrast signal of the first contrast bolus, setting a timing for a second contrast injection of a second contrast bolus to a fallback injection timing, and responsive to identifying an adaptive injection timing for the second contrast injection based on the contrast signal before the fallback injection timing is reached, updating the timing for the second contrast injection to the adaptive injection timing and commanding initiation of the second contrast injection at the adaptive injection timing, otherwise commanding initiation of the second contrast injection at the fallback injection timing.
