According to one embodiment, a method of image analysis is provided. The method includes binning image data into a plurality of sinogram frames, identifying a plurality of initial stationary frames by applying a first analysis technique on the plurality of binned sinogram frames, extracting a plurality of first statistical parameters applying a second analysis technique on the plurality of binned sinogram frames, combining the plurality of first statistical parameters with boundaries of plurality of initial stationary frames to generate a presentation of a joint analysis combining at least some of the plurality of the first statistical parameters and at least some of the plurality of the second statistical parameter, identifying a plurality of final stationary frames from the presentation of the joint analysis, independently reconstructing each of the plurality of final stationary frames, and registering each of the plurality of final stationary frames to a first state.

System and method of data analysis for detecting gross head motion from pet images

Methods and systems for processing a set of images are described. In accordance with this disclosure, images are registered and an analysis is performed in view of one or more constraints (such as constraints based upon anatomical or physiological considerations). Weighting factors are determined based on the analysis. The weighting factors are used in subsequent processing of the registered (and/or unregistered) images and/or to formulate a visualization that conveys the degree of confidence in the motion estimation used in the registration process.
