With
the combination of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) into a single combined system, a novel imaging modality has
become available. Previous approaches to patient motion tracking for PET data
correction are difficult to use in the combined MR-PET environment. Thus,
alternative methods for motion tracking have to be developed. Here, a novel
approach for MR-PET motion correction utilising the Lissajous navigator is
presented.
