DOI: 10.1002/mp.14206
Abstract: PURPOSE Motion compensated positron emission tomography (PET) imaging requires detecting and monitoring of patient body motion. We developed a semiautomatic list-mode method to track the three-dimensional (3D) motion of fiducial positron-emitting markers during PET imaging.… read more here.
