With modern flat panel C-arm systems, soft tissue imaging is possible during intervention. This can be of high potential in the field of neuroradiologic interventions, when a stroke is to be classified as either ischemic or hemorrhagic. Within the interventional stroke therapy (Mechanical Thrombectomy), DynaCT has the potential to substitute CT and MRT as standard diagnostic modalities. By this substitution, imaging and intervention could be done within one room, making the therapy much faster and thus increasing the quality of stroke therapy.

To reach this goal, the detectability of cerebral bleedings under DynaCT acquisitions must be as reliable as it is using CT. The acquisition of projection data for reconstruction is performed by rotating the C-arm around the patient. One rotation is typically performed in 20 seconds, increasing the risk of motion induced artifacts compared to CT, where a single rotation is performed in less than a second. Thus, a major drawback of DynaCT compared to CT is patient motion. This project aims at compensating motion artifacts in DynaCT acquisitions with the goal of a reliable detectability of cerebral bleedings.
