Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Radiological Physics

Background:

  • Marker-less head motion correction in PET is crucial for image quality.
  • Positional calibration between PET systems and external sensors is an under-explored area.
  • Accurate calibration is essential for effective motion correction in neuroimaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for positional calibration between a PET system and an external range sensor.
  • To enable practical and accurate head motion correction in PET imaging.
  • To utilize a subject's face model for both motion detection and system calibration.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a method using a subject's face model, derived from range sensor data and CT images, for positional calibration.
  • Integrated the method into a helmet-type PET system.
  • Quantitatively assessed motion correction accuracy using phantom experiments with a mannequin head.

Main Results:

  • High-resolution PET images were obtained with no visible motion artifacts after correction.
  • Statistical analysis confirmed improvements in spatial resolution, contrast recovery, and uniformity.
  • The corrected images were comparable to, and in some aspects better than, motionless scans.
  • The method demonstrated tolerance to at least a 10% difference in rotation angle tracking errors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed face-model-based method provides effective positional calibration for head motion correction in PET.
  • This technique enhances PET image quality by mitigating motion-induced artifacts.
  • The approach offers a practical solution for improving the accuracy and reliability of PET neuroimaging.
