  • Publication number: 20230329658
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for creating both angiographic images of a subject and dynamic images of the subject from imaging data acquired during an imaging acquisition. The method includes operating an imaging system to perform an imaging acquisition by delivering interspersed doses of high doses of the ionizing radiation and low doses of the ionizing radiation, wherein more low doses of the ionizing radiation are delivered than high doses of ionizing radiation during the imaging acquisition to thereby acquire the imaging data with a high frame rate of low dose data and a low frame rate of high dose data. The method also includes generating at least volumetric angiographic images of the subject and dynamic images of the subject from the imaging data.

  • Patent number: 11380006
    Abstract: A radiography machine provides information about the absolute dimension of imaged objects with as few as two images taken along a common axis at different separations. The information gathered in this way may also be used to deduce absolute or relative separation of the objects along the common axis.
