System for improving accuracy of ultrasound-guided prediction of local bolus velocities

A system for medical imaging, comprising:

• a computer tomography (CT) device comprising a table;
• a memory adapted to store:
• a computational model comprising instructions;
• an updated measurement of blood flow speed at least some of a plurality of specific locations in a portion of a body, or at least one other location in the portion of the body, or both;
• and an inferred blood flow speed throughout the portion of the body based on the computational model;
• and a processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• determine a contrast medium injection duration, or a speed of the table, or both, prior to a CT scan based on the inferred blood flow speed.

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions for a computational model, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• update a measurement of blood flow speed at least some of a plurality of specific locations in a portion of a body, or at least one other location in the portion of the body, or both;
• provide the updated measurements of the blood flow speed to the computational model;
• infer a blood flow speed throughout the portion of the body based on the computational model;
• and
• determine a contrast medium injection duration, or a speed of a table, or both, prior to a computer tomography (CT) scan based on the inferred blood flow speed.
