Abstract: A framework for motion correction in medical image data. In accordance with one aspect, one or more anatomical ranges where motion is expected are identified in a localizer image of a subject. Image reconstruction with motion correction may be performed based on medical image data within the one or more anatomical ranges to generate motion corrected image data. The motion corrected image data may then be combined with non-motion corrected image data to generate final image data.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for creating a motion correction for PET data acquired by a PET system from a volume segment of an examination object. The method includes acquisition of MR data within the volume segment by the magnetic resonance system; and determination of a motion model of a motion within the volume segment as a function of the MR data. The motion model, as a function of a respective motion state of the motion, provides a correction specification for PET data which is acquired during this motion state. During acquisition of the MR data, specific MR data is acquired in the center of the k-space or of a straight-line segment which passes through the center of the k-space. The MR data determined is converted by a mathematical function into one value, as a function of which the respective motion state is determined.
