1. A system for image processing, comprising:
one or more receivers configured to receive input data including a non-diagnostic X-ray image, procured through an X-ray imaging apparatus configured for spectral imaging, of a target location in a conduit of an object, the conduit including a target substance, the target substance propagatable in the conduit towards the target location;
one or more processors configured to process, with a pre-trained-machine learning algorithm, the non-diagnostic X-ray image to obtain output data indicative of an arrival of the target substance at the target location; and
an output configured to output the output data, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to trigger an acquisition of a diagnostic X-ray image in response to the output data, and wherein the diagnostic X-ray image has a higher radiation dose than the non-diagnostic X-ray image.
