Claim One:
1. A method for motion correcting molecular breast imaging (MBI) images, said method comprising: obtaining a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images during a scan of a breast using a MBI system, wherein the plurality of 2D images are acquired at different times during the scan and each include a feature of interest; selecting a reference image from the plurality of 2D images, the plurality of 2D images remaining correspond to a plurality of non-reference images; selecting the feature of interest in the reference image; determining a location of the feature of interest in the reference image; calculating correction values for each of the plurality of non-reference images, wherein the correction values are based on a difference in the location of the feature of interest in the reference image and a location of the feature of interest in each of the plurality of non-reference images; and combining the plurality of non-reference images with the reference image to form a motion correction 2D image based on the calculated correction values.
