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 20):
A system comprising:\n one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by the one or more processors cause the system to:\n acquire a series of images at times t 1  . . . tn including a moving object; \n extract time-activity information for voxels of the images; \n determine phase information for motion of the moving object; and \n generate an updated series of images correcting for the motion of the moving object using the determined phase information for motion of the moving object.
