First Claim
Patent Images
1. An imaging method, comprising:
- reconstructing gated emission tomography images for a region of interest;
adjusting a mismatch between the gated emission tomography images and a computed tomography image of the region of interest;
registering the gated emission tomography images; and
combining the registered gated emission tomography images to generate motion corrected images.
