METHOD FOR GENERATING QUANTITATIVE IMAGES OF THE FLOW POTENTIAL OF A REGION UNDER INVESTIGATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for generating images representative of the flow potential of a permeable body. The following steps are part of the disclosed method. First, providing a first sequence of digital images of the body perfused by a fluid at a rest condition. Then extracting a first quantification image of the spatial distribution of flow of the fluid in the body at the rest condition, the first quantification image being defined by pixel values. Next, providing a second sequence of digital images of the body perfused by the fluid at a stress condition. Then extracting a second quantification image of the spatial distribution of flow of the fluid in the body at the stress condition, the second quantification image being defined by pixel values. Then, combining the two quantification images to obtain an image defined by pixel values.
