Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Data-driven rigid motion estimation in PET brain imaging typically uses low temporal resolution frames to balance computation time and signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Recent advancements show list-mode reconstructions of ultrashort frames are viable for rapid motion estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize reconstruction and registration parameters for accurate, high-temporal-resolution, data-driven rigid motion estimation in PET brain imaging.
  • To minimize computation time for motion estimation using image-based registration of very short frames.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-florbetaben (FBB) tracer data from PET/MR and PET/CT scanners.
  • Simulation of interframe motion and subsequent image-based registration using framed reconstructions with varied parameters.
  • Optimization of frame duration, MLEM iterations, pixel size, post-smoothing filter, reference image creation, and registration metric.

Main Results:

  • Accurate registrations (within 1 mm of ground truth) are achieved with 4 × 10^5 true and scattered coincidence events per frame, corresponding to 0.5-1 second frame durations.
  • Optimal parameters include four MLEM iterations (no subsets), 4 mm transaxial pixel size, 4-6 mm FWHM post-smoothing filter, and averaging two or more frames for reference image creation.
  • This parameter set ensures accurate registrations while minimizing reconstruction and processing times.

Conclusions:

  • Very short frames (≤1 second) are sufficient for accurate and rapid data-driven rigid motion estimation in PET brain imaging.
  • This method enables efficient motion correction in event-by-event motion corrected reconstructions.
