Motion correction in 3D PET/CT using optical flow methods M Dawood, F Büther, N Lang, X Jiang, M Schäfers, O Schober, KP Schäfers Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Münster, Germany
Problem Spatial non-correspondance between PET and CT due to motion
Optical Flow A method to estimate deformation between image frames Independent of the form and type of movement between the frames Non-rigid and pixel-based
Combined Local/Global Minimize fLG
Discontinuity Preserving Non-Quadratic Non-Quadratic approach allows better approximation than least squares Discontinuity preservation allows better estimation across organ boundaries Minimize fD
Demonstration Lukas/Kanade Horn/Schunck Bruhn Non-Linear Discontinuity Preserving Result
