An x-ray system for use with image-guided medical procedures is programmed
to move in a first scan path to acquire cone beam attenuation data from
which a three-dimensional digital subtraction angiogram of selected
vasculature is reconstructed. The x-ray system is also programmed to move
in a second scan path to acquire a series of tomosynthesis images during
the inflow of a contrast agent into the selected vasculature. Parametric
images are produced from information in the tomosynthesis images which
indicate blood perfusion physiology of the tissues served by the
vasculature.
