Abstract:
Respiratory motion in PET degrades image quality and limits detectability of small or low-contrast lesions. Although image quality can be improved using respiratory-gating, this adds to the complexity and expense of acquiring PET data. We aimed to develop a data-driven method, based on individual voxel signal fluctuations, for accomplishing electronic respiratory gating of clinical PET data, requiring no additional hardware or end-user input. We tested our methods using both simulated PET scans...     »
