Respiratory Motion Correction in Oncologic PET Using T1-Weighted MR Imaging on a Simultaneous Whole-Body PET/MR System

Abstract

The proposed method for MR-based respiratory motion correction of PET data proved feasible and effective. The short examination time and convenience (no additional equipment required) of the method allow for easy integration into clinical routine imaging. Performance compared with gating procedures can be further improved using list-mode-based motion correction.
