Book cover Motion Correction in Thoracic Positron Emission Tomography

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering ((BRIEFSELECTRIC))

Abstract

We have discussed methods for PET motion estimation and motion correction in the previous chapters. In particular, a priori knowledge about the image generation process, in terms of mass-preservation, was utilized to improve the motion estimates needed for the advanced correction pipelines. This chapter gives an outlook of potential improvements and modifications of the presented methods and future advances of PET motion correction in general.
