Abstract
A CT radiographic imaging process implements a processing operation on images in order to detect the use of a saline solution. When a saline solution is detected, it extracts a component or a portion of a component that does not appear to be contrasted in the initial images, for example, in the case of cardiac imaging, the right cavity of the heart. The imaging system comprises means for implementing this process.
