Abstract

Molecular imaging is gaining more and more importance, particularly Positron Emission Tomography (PET) being the tomographic modality with the highest molecular sensitivity. However, motion is a known problem for many medical imaging modalities that require a minimum acquisition time to collect the relevant information for image generation. Emission tomography techniques, such as PET or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) are particularly affected by motion since respiratory and cardiac motion lead to image degradation in thoracic studies. Image blurring and wrong attenuation correction are possible unwanted consequences which can impair clinical diagnosis.
