Abstract
Medical image processing is adaptively optimized in response to selective types of changes or motion. Adaptive optimization is applied in response to limited types of motion or at a controlled time. For example, one type of change, such as change due to heart motion or breathing motion, is distinguished from a different type of change, such as change due to repositioning of an imaging plane within a patient. Imaging parameters are adaptively optimized in response to changes of one type independent of or with minimized contribution from changes of the different type. For example, change due to repositioning of the image plane is detected while accounting for heart motion or breathing motion. Imaging parameters are adaptively optimized once the change due to anatomical motion is removed or accounted for and after detecting a change in an imaging plane position. Any of various adaptive optimizations may be responsive to the identification of one type of change from another type of change.
