Abstract:
The present invention, in one form, is a method for deriving respiratory gated PET image reconstruction from raw PET data. In reconstructing the respiratory gated images in accordance with the present invention, respiratory motion information derived from individual voxel signal fluctuations, is used in combination to create usable respiratory phase information. Employing this method allows the respiratory gated PET images to be reconstructed from PET data with out the use of external hardware, and in a fully automated manner.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein individual voxel information is combined with the evolving time varying object motion function in three possible scenarios: the first scenario is leaving the current time varying object motion function unaltered, the second scenario is adding the individual voxel time-activity information to the current time varying object motion function, and the third scenario is subtracting the individual voxel time-activity information from the current time varying object motion function, to account for possible phase mismatch; of these three scenarios, the one with the most significant improvement is chosen as the new time varying object motion function, to be used in evaluation of the next voxel.
