Abstract: The invention relates to a method of imaging the blood flow as a function of time in an object (3) to be examined, which method includes the following steps: a) acquisition of a series of X-ray projection images (Di; Ej) during administration of a contrast medium to the blood vessels in the object (3) to be examined, b) acquisition of an image data set (H; K) containing the course of the blood vessels in the object (3) to be examined, c) segmentation of the regions of the blood vessels in the individual X-ray projection images (Di; Ej) that are filled with contrast medium, d) encoding the image data set (H; K) in time by comparing the image data set (H; K) with the segmented X-ray projection images (Dj′; Fj), and e) displaying one or more images (B) formed from the time-encoded image data set (H′; R′) and representing the blood flow as a function of time. The invention also relates to a correspondingly constructed X-ray device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method which enables distributed or dilute structures, for example a vascular system filled with a contrast medium, to be reproduced in a synthetic projection image which reproduces the parts of the vascular system which are situated in a selectable sub-volume more clearly than the X-ray images, formed from different perspectives, wherefrom the projection image is derived. The voxel image values associated with the voxels of the sub-volume are first determined and from these voxel image values there is calculated a synthetic projection image in which the selected sub-volume is reproduced.

Abstract: An X-ray imaging method, and device for carrying out the method, utilizes a first imaging device to form and digitally store a series of two-dimensional X-ray images in which an object to be examined is projected onto an X-ray image pick-up device from different perspectives, and a second imaging device to form a three-dimensional image of the same object. Quasi three-dimensional reproduction of anatomic structures is achieved by extracting a relevant structure of the object to be examined from the three-dimensional image, calculating synthetic, two-dimensional projection images of the extracted structure, the structure being projected with the same geometrical parameters as used for the relevant structure during the formation of the individual X-ray images, forming superposition images by superposing the synthetic projection images and the X-ray images formed under the same geometrical conditions, and displaying the series of superposition images.
