  • Radiological imaging incorporating local motion monitoring, correction, and assessment
    Patent number: 8331639
    Abstract: A radiological imaging method comprises: acquiring radiological lines of response (LOR's) from a subject; grouping the acquired LOR's into time intervals such that each group of LOR's (20) was acquired during a selected time interval; identifying a region of interest (60, 74) for each time interval based on LOR's grouped into that time interval; for each time interval, determining a positional characteristic (102) of the region of interest identified for that time interval based on LOR's grouped into that time interval; for each time interval, spatially adjusting LOR's grouped into that time interval based on the positional characteristic of the region of interest identified for that time interval; and reconstructing at least the spatially adjusted LOR's to generate a motion compensated reconstructed image.
