Dynamic tomosynthesis system and ventilation and perfusion imaging systems and methods employing same

X-ray sources emit X-rays into an examination region along different projection views. An X-ray detector array detects the X-rays emitted by the X-ray sources after passing through the examination region. X-ray imaging data are acquired by cycling through the X-ray sources with each step of the cycle including: switching an active X ray source on to emit X-rays and the other X ray sources off to not emit X rays, and acquiring X ray imaging data along the projection view corresponding to the active X-ray source that is switched on. Tomosynthesis image reconstruction is performed on the X ray imaging data to generate at least one volumetric image. A time sequence of spatially aligned images is produced from the time sequence of volumetric images. A perfusion image and / or a ventilation image is generated based on voxel intensity variation over time of the time sequence of spatially aligned images.
