Claim 0:
1. A method for an imaging system, comprising:
performing, with the imaging system, a first contrast scan of a subject, the first contrast scan including a first injection of a contrast agent to the subject;
processing projection data of the subject acquired during the first contrast scan to measure a contrast signal of the subject at a monitoring area;
estimating a target acquisition timing for a first acquisition of a second contrast scan of the subject based on the contrast signal, the target acquisition timing comprising an arterial peak timing of the contrast agent for a second injection of the contrast agent, the arterial peak timing at a second region of the subject, different than the monitoring area; and
upon the second injection of the contrast agent, performing, with the imaging system, the second contrast scan of the subject, with the first acquisition performed at the arterial peak timing of the contrast agent for the second injection and without performing any monitoring scans between the first contrast scan and the second contrast scan.
