Abstract
A method is provided that includes acquiring scanning information for a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. The scanning information includes time information. The method also includes generating imaging information using the scanning information. Further, the method also includes modifying the imaging information using the time information to generate modified imaging information, and reconstructing an image using the modified imaging information.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- acquiring scanning information for a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, the scanning information comprising time information;
- generating imaging information using the scanning information;
- modifying the imaging information using the time information to generate modified imaging information;
- and
- reconstructing an image using the modified imaging information.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- acquiring scanning information for a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, the scanning information comprising time information;
- dividing the scanning information into subsets using the time information;
- generating an initial image using the scanning information;
- separately updating the initial image with each subset to generate corresponding modified images;
- and
- generating a final image using the modified images.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a positron emission tomography (PET) acquisition unit configured to acquire PET imaging information;
- and
- at least one processor operably coupled to the PET acquisition unit, the at least one processor configured to:
- acquire scanning information from the PET acquisition unit, the scanning information comprising time information;
- divide the scanning information into subsets using the time information;
- generate an initial image using the scanning information;
- separately update the initial image with each subset to generate corresponding modified images;
- and
- generate a final image using the modified images.
