Abstract:
A method of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) imaging can include repeatedly scanning a target region an applied power during a session. The applied power can be a first power for a first scan. After the first scan, the applied power for each of a plurality of scans can be selected based on an algorithm. The algorithm can be based on, for example, the attenuation indicated from a preceding scan in the session.
