Patent ID: 10755455

Abstract:
A method for digital subtraction angiography of a recording region of a patient is provided herein. The method includes recording at least one mask image of a recording region without using a contrast medium; recording a plurality of ill images after administration of a contrast medium; and determining result images by subtraction of one of the at least one mask image from respective fill images. As a function of automatically determined or user-provided image quality information describing a suitability of the at least one mask image in respect of different movement states in the recording region during recording of the at least one mask image and in the case of at least some of the fill images, in the case of non-suitability of the at least one mask image for at least one fill image of a non-suitability group, at least one further mask image is recorded and the suitability of the further mask image for the at least one fill image of the non-suitability group is checked automatically by a comparison algorithm in respect of the movement state. Additionally, following the existence of suitable mask images for each fill image of the non-suitability group, the recording of further mask images is terminated.
