Abstract

In the field of medical imaging, suboptimal settings for contrast-enhanced scan sequences can lead to impaired images and in turn to less accurate diagnosis or the need for repeat scans. There is therefore provided a method for adapting a medical imaging procedure to patient characteristics. The method comprises: obtaining (302) at least one measurement of a patient-specific physiological parameter, comprising at least one measurement of pulse transit time of a patient; based on the at least one measurement of pulse transit time, determining (304) a setting for at least one patient-specific system-control parameter for carrying out the medical imaging procedure, wherein the at least one patient-specific system-control parameter comprises at least one substance administration parameter that relates to administration of a substance to the patient for facilitating the medical imaging procedure; and outputting (306) the determined setting for the at least one patient-specific system-control parameter for carrying out the medical imaging procedure. The method thus utilizes pulse transit time as a dynamic feedback parameter for system control in medical imaging, such as for sequence timing and the administration of substances such as contrast agents and beta blockers.
