ABSTRACT:
An x-ray imaging system that constantly evaluates and determines optimal image acquisition parameters, such as frame rate and pulse length, based on the application and motion detection during an x-ray acquisition scene, and applies optimal image acquisition parameters accordingly. The x-ray imaging method includes accessing previous image data and accessing present image data. Motion between the present image data and at least a portion of the previous image data is detected and the one or more image acquisition parameters are determined as a function of the detected motion.
