Motion compensation for brain PET imaging using wireless MR active markers in simultaneous PET–MR: Phantom and non-human primate studies

Brain PET scanning plays an important role in the diagnosis, prognostication and monitoring of many brain diseases. Motion artifacts from head motion are one of the major hurdles in brain PET. In this work, we propose to use wireless MR active markers to track head motion in real time during a simul...

Brain PET scanning plays an important role in the diagnosis, prognostication and monitoring of many brain diseases. Motion artifacts from head motion are one of the major hurdles in brain PET. In this work, we propose to use wireless MR active markers to track head motion in real time during a simultaneous PET–MR brain scan and incorporate the motion measured by the markers in the listmode PET reconstruction.
