Abstract
A method for localization of an object in an examination area of an examination object, which includes an organ, is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes detection of a repeating movement of the organ in the examination area; detection of PET data of the examination area during the movement; and localization of the object in the examination area by use of the PET data for at least two different repeating movement sections of the movement.
Claims16
A method for localization of an object in an examination area of an examination object, which includes an organ, the method comprising:
- detecting a repeating movement of the organ in the examination area;
- detecting PET data of the examination area during the movement;
- and
- localizing the object in the examination area by use of the PET data for at least two different repeating movement sections of the movement.
A PET apparatus for localization of an object in an examination area of an examination object, which includes an organ, the PET apparatus comprising:
- a control unit configured to activate a positron emission detector of the PET apparatus;
- and
- an image processing unit configured to receive PET data of the examination area acquired by the positron emission detector, wherein the PET apparatus is configured to detect a repeating movement of the organ in the examination area, to acquire the PET data during the movement and to localize the object in the examination area with the aid of the PET data in at least two different movement sections of the movement.
