A method of conducting a multi-pass dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) scans using continuous bed motion (CBM) mode is disclosed where the method involves acquiring PET sinogram data using CBM mode as the patient bed is moving in a first direction; acquiring PET sonogram data using CBM mode as the patient bed is moving in a second direction that is opposite from the first direction; and reconstructing 3-D PET image from the acquired PET sonogram data.

A method of processing and reconstructing dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) sinogram data comprises: acquiring PET sinogram data using continuous bed motion having a varying velocity; recording a plurality of position-time coordinate pairs while acquiring the PET sinogram data; determining respective acquisition times of each of a plurality of slices of the image, based on the plurality of position-time coordinates; and reconstructing respective parametric images for each respective slice in the plurality of slices.
