Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus for obtaining a sequence of x-ray images are disclosed. An object of interest in a first x-ray image is detected and an area of interest, based on a predicted motion of the object of interest, is determined. A second x-ray image of the area of interest is acquired using spatial x-ray modification to control an x-ray to pass through a portion of a patient corresponding to the area of interest.
