1417 Objectives Motion artifacts introduced by respiration degrade both the quality and
quantitative accuracy of thoracic PET images. The goal of this study is to evaluate the …

45 Objectives To explore the feasibility of using motion-compensated simultaneous PET-MR
for improved pulmonary lesion detection. Methods We have developed a maximum a …

Hybrid PET/MR combines the exceptional molecular sensitivity of PET with the high
resolution and versatility of MR imaging. Simultaneous data acquisition additionally …

The impact of a method for MR-based respiratory motion correction of PET data on lesion
visibility and quantification in patients with oncologic findings in the lung was evaluated …

Simultaneous PET and MR imaging is a promising new technique allowing the fusion of
functional (PET) and anatomic/functional (MR) information. In the thoracic–abdominal …

This study proposes a new method to reduce respiratory motion artifacts in PET images of
lung cancer. The method is referred to as respiratory-correlated dynamic PET (RCDPET) …

261 Objectives Respiratory motion substantially deteriorates PET image quality. We
performed two in-vivo rabbit studies with radioactive beads implanted to demonstrate the …

370 Objectives To reduce motion blur and attenuation map mismatch in thoracic and
abdominal PET. Methods Simultaneous PET/MR examinations were performed on a …

Purpose: Pulmonary positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is confounded by blurring
artifacts caused by respiratory motion. These artifacts degrade both image quality and …

Purpose The recently available gated T1-weighted imaging with the Dixon technique
enables the synchronized gating signal for both MR acquisition and PET reconstruction …
