Implementation of a phase detection algorithm for dynamic cardiac computed tomography analysis based on time dependent contrast agent distribution.

This paper presents a phase detection algorithm for four-dimensional (4D) cardiac computed tomography (CT) analysis. The algorithm detects a phase, i.e. a specific three-dimensional (3D) image out of several time-distributed 3D images, with high contrast in the left ventricle and low contrast in the...
