Abstract

A method is for providing a medical image of a patient. The method includes acquiring medical measurement data of the patient, including a set of multiple sampled state combinations; a first state space, including first physiological states, and a second state space, including second physiological states, together spanning a third state space. Each of the combinations includes a state from the first and second state spaces, and the third state space includes the set of combinations. The method further includes generating a medical image of the patient using the medical measurement data acquired, including a further state combination; the further state combination including a state from the first and second state space, the third state space including the further state combination, and the further state combination lying within the third state space outside the set of combinations. Finally, the method includes providing the medical image of the patient generated.
