Simultaneous PET/MR abdominal imaging suffers from respiratory artifacts which causes motion blur of the PET images, further affecting clinical diagnosis. To eliminate motion blur, the work presents a novel PET image motion correction method by optimizing attenuation maps with navigators. The method significantly improves the image quality as well as the work flow and demonstrates its clinical value in detecting lesion in the liver.
