Popis: Perfusion imaging is an interesting new modality for evaluation and assessment of the liver cancer treatment. C-Arm CT provides a possibility to perform perfusion imaging scans intra-operatively for even faster evaluation. The slow speed of the C-Arm CT rotation and the presence of the noise, however, have an impact on the reconstruction and therefore model based approaches have to be applied. In this work we apply the Time separation technique (TST), to denoise data, speed up reconstruction and improve resulting perfusion images. We show on animal experiment data that Dynamic C-Arm CT Liver Perfusion Imaging together with the processing of the data based on the TST provides comparable results to standard CT liver perfusion imaging.
