Abstract:
1. A method for computing an analysis image of an examination area of an examination object from a temporal sequence of fluoroscopic images of the examination area, wherein the examination area comprises a vascular system including arteries and/or veins as blood vessels, and wherein the analysis image spatially corresponds to the fluoroscopic images pixel-by-pixel, comprising: assigning an acquisition time instant to each of the fluoroscopic images representing a given distribution of a material embolizing at least some of the vascular system in the examination area at the acquisition time instant; receiving the temporal sequence of fluoroscopic images by a computer; assigning a color attribute to a pixel of the analysis image at the acquisition time instant by the computer with a rule of: computing the analysis image repeatedly after re-initializing the temporal sequence of the fluoroscopic images by the computer with a further rule of: outputting the analysis image to a user.
