Abstract:

A PET scanner () generates a plurality of time stamped lines of response (LORs). A motion detector () detects a motion state, such as motion phase or motion amplitude, of the subject during acquisition of each of the LORs. A sorting module () sorts the LORs by motion state and a reconstruction processor () reconstructs the LORs into high spatial, low temporal resolution images in the corresponding motion states. A motion estimator module () determines a motion transform which transforms the LORs into a common motion state. A reconstruction module () reconstructs the motion corrected LORs into a static image or dynamic images, a series of high temporal resolution, high spatial resolution images.
