Device for obtaining perfusion images

A method for obtaining perfusion information, the method comprising:

• measuring, with a first processor, at least one physiological characteristic of a patient;
• determining, with a second processor, at least one imaging parameter value of at least one imaging modality as a function of the at least one measured physiological characteristic;
• storing, with a memory, the at least one imaging parameter value;
• acquiring, with an imaging device, at least one projection image representative of a region of interest of the patient using the at least one stored imaging parameter value;
• determining, with a third processor, a perfusion rate of the region of interest based on the at least one acquired projection image;
• and
• outputting the perfusion rate of the region of interest to an output device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for obtaining perfusion information, the computer-executable instructions comprising:

• measuring at least one physiological characteristic of a patient;
• determining, with a processor, at least one imaging parameter value of at least one imaging modality as a function of the at least one measured physiological characteristic;
• storing the at least one imaging parameter value;
• acquiring at least one projection image representative of the region of interest of the patient using the at least one stored imaging parameter value;
• determining a perfusion rate of the region of interest based on the at least one acquired projection image;
• and
• outputting the perfusion rate of the region of interest to an output device.
