Samenvatting

Respiratory motion during PET imaging causes the resulting images to become corrupted by artifacts. Respiratory motion models have found application in estimating and correcting for the effects of motion in a wide range of applications. In this work we evaluate the performance of an MR-derived motion model for motion-correction of PET data that is suitable for use in a simultaneous PET-MR imaging system. The technique is based on the formation of a subject-specific respiratory motion model from near real-time dynamic MR images and is capable of making real-time motion estimates based on an MR navigator signal. This approach has an advantage over gating based approaches in that individual motion corrections can be applied at each time point, avoiding the need to combine large amounts of PET data for correction by a single transformation for each gate.
