A method for computing volumetric perfusion in a spatially stationary organ using
a computed tomography (CT) imaging system includes positioning an area detector
such that the area detector encompasses a spatially stationary organ within the
field of view of the imaging system for all view angles, operating the CT imaging
system in a cine mode to acquire a plurality of projection data representative
of the tissue dynamics in the spatially stationary organ, processing the projection
data, and computing the volumetric perfusion in the organ using the reconstructions
of the projection data representative of the tissue dynamics.
