Motion Correction in Thoracic Positron Emission Tomography

Respiratory and cardiac motion leads to image degradation in Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which impairs quantification. In this book, the authors present approaches to motion estimation and motion correction in thoracic PET. The approaches for moti

Preface

This book evolved from parts of the first author’s dissertation and aims to give an overview of state-of-the-art approaches to motion estimation and motion correction in positron emiss
