background motion artifacts that degrade image quality of coronary ct angiography (ccta) in patients with high heart rates may be reduced with specific automatic motion correction algorithms (amc). conclusions ccta image quality improves significantly with amc in patients with high heart rates and reduces the proportion of non-diagnostic examinations. results mean heart rate during ccta was 61 ...

With the arrival of increasingly higher resolution PET systems, small amounts of motion can cause significant blurring in the images, compared to the intrinsic resolutions of the scanners. In this work, we have reviewed advanced correction methods for the three cases of (i) unwanted patient motion, as well as motions due to (ii) cardiac and (iii) respiratory cycles. For the first type of ...

abstractobjective: to investigate the impact of respiratory motion on localization, and quantification lung lesions for the gross tumour volume utilizing an in-house developed auto3dreg programme and dynamic nurbs-based cardiac-torso digitised phantom (ncat). methods: respiratory motion may result in more than 30% underestimation of the suv values of lung, liver and kidney tumour lesions. the m...

introduction: there are several technical features that make pet an ideal device for the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac physiology. organ motion due to respiration is a major challenge in diagnostic imaging, especially in cardiac pet imaging. these motions reduce image quality by spreading the radiotracer activity over an increased volume, distorting apparent lesion size and shape and reduci...

Introduction: To investigate the effects of breathing cycle and tree diaphragm motions on prostate cancer tumors standard uptake value (SUV) during positron emission tomography (PET) and to correct it. Materials and methods: Respiratory motion traces were simulated on the common patient breathing cycle and tree diaphragm motio...
