METHOD FOR THE FUNCTIONAL VISUALIZATION AND LOCALIZATION OF AN ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION, ROTATABLE IMAGING SYSTEM AND COMBINATION OF A ROTATABLE IMAGING SYSTEM AND AN IRRADIATION UNIT
A method for functional visualization and localization of an arteriovenous malformation is proposed. A patient is scanned over a predetermined projection angle range during a contrast agent uptake time. The examination region is reconstructed using the projections over the entire projection angle range. The arteriovenous malformation is localized. The multiplicity of the projections is subdivided into at least three partial projection datasets each belonging to different consecutive time windows of the total duration of the scan. A time series having tomosynthesis image datasets is generated by the partial projection datasets. An arterial and/or venous assignment of the vessels flooded with contrast agent takes place based on the time series of tomosynthesis image datasets.
