Abstract:
1. A method for determining an optimum direction of projection for recording with an imaging system a projection image of an object, the method comprising: estimating a position, with a computer, of the object at a point in time, wherein the object comprises a fluid front, which flows in a body of a patient; and determining an optimum imaging view, with the computer, from which the optimum direction of projection is produced for the estimated position based on a previously determined measurement F(T) of the object, wherein the determined measurement is based on a functional transformation configured to spatially relate a volume of the object to a detector plane of the imaging system, wherein the functional transformation is configured to reduce imaging ambiguities, which can arise when a pixel on the detector plane is mapped onto a voxel of the image of the volume of the object.
