Patent ID: 7683330

Claim:
A method for determining positron emission measurement information in the context of positron emission tomography, comprising: Using a first imaging method comprising: carrying out a positron emission measurement during a measurement period, in a body area of a subject to be examined, to record positron emission measurement information with point resolution, wherein said measurement period comprises a plurality of time slot intervals; generating images of the body area to be examined with a relatively higher time resolution than said positron emission measurement and with point-resolved image data using a second imaging method during the same measurement period in which the positron emission measurement is carried out, the generated images showing a position of anatomical structures in the body area of the subject at different time slot intervals during said measurement period, wherein the generated images comprises a first image corresponding to a first time slot interval; determining a first local shift of points for said first time slot interval by comparing said first image and a reference normal image, wherein said first local shift of points being caused by movement processes of the subject to be examined and as a function thereof; and adjusting the positron emission measurement information corresponding to said first time slot interval as a function of the determined first local shift of points.
