Abstract
A method for obtaining perfusion data includes providing an object of interest, estimating a first quantity of contrast agent utilized by a mono-energy computed tomography (CT) imaging system to image the object of interest, introducing a second quantity of contrast agent into the object of interest, the second quantity of contrast agent less than the first quantity of contrast agent, and scanning the object of interest using a multi-energy Computed Tomography (MECT) system to acquire data.
