Estimating the term…
A medical imaging device includes a display device; and at least one electronic processor programmed to perform an imaging method including controlling an associated medical imaging device to acquire a dynamic lung image including a time sequence of lung images depicting at least one lung of the patient; separating the dynamic lung image into a dynamic respiration image depicting density changes due to respiration and a dynamic perfusion image depicting density changes due to lung perfusion; at least one of: (i) generating a respiration delay image based on the dynamic respiration image; and (ii) generating a perfusion delay image based on the dynamic lung perfusion image; and displaying the respiration delay image and/or lung perfusion delay image on the display device.
A medical imaging device, comprising:
The device of claim 9, wherein the perfusion delay image includes a systole delay image generated for a systole phase of a cardiac cycle of the patient by assigning to each image pixel in a region of interest of the systole delay image, a time difference between a reference time point for the systole phase and a time within the systole phase at which a maximum change rate is observed for the image pixel in the dynamic perfusion image.
A lung imaging method, comprising:
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
