Claim Text:
1. A hybrid imaging system comprising: a first imaging system configured to acquire anatomical data of a first field of view of an anatomical structure; a second imaging system configured to acquire functional data of the anatomical structure; an imaging acquisition and control unit comprising a digital processor or controller configured to operate the first imaging system to acquire anatomical data and to operate the second imaging system to acquire functional data in a two-pass list-mode acquisition scheme including a first-pass list-mode acquisition that acquires first-pass functional data followed by a second-pass list-mode acquisition that acquires second-pass functional data wherein the second-pass list-mode acquisition is configured based on the first-pass functional data; and a reconstruction processor comprising electronics configured to reconstruct the functional data based on attenuation data generated from the anatomical data into an attenuation corrected image and reconstruct the anatomical data into one or more high resolution images of one or more regions of interest.
