Blood Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate Calculated from Dynamic 4D CT Angiography using a Time of Flight Approach

Purpose: A time of flight approach to the analysis of 4D CT angiography is examined to calculate blood flow in arteries. Materials and Methods: Software was written to track contrast bolus TOF along a central vessel axis. Time density curves were analyzed to determine bolus time to peak at successiv...
