Abstract:
1. A method for evaluating the effectiveness of a motion correction procedure, said method comprising: acquiring an imaging dataset of an object using an imaging system; identifying a motion affected portion of the imaging dataset; sorting the motion affected portion of the imaging dataset into a first plurality of motion affected images that are associated with a first bin and a second plurality of motion affected images that are associated with a second bin; motion correcting the motion affected portion to generate a motion corrected imaging dataset comprising first and second pluralities of motion corrected images associated with the first and second bins, respectively; and co-displaying first and second combinations, wherein the first combination comprises the first pluralities of motion affected and motion corrected images associated with the first bin, and the second combination comprises the second pluralities of motion corrected and motion affected images associated with the second bin.
