Abstract
A system and method for reconstructing an image of a subject includes acquiring a reference dataset and reconstructing a prior image of the subject from the reference dataset and selecting at least a portion of the prior image that corresponds to a portion of the prior image of the subject that is free of artifacts. The method also includes acquiring a medical imaging dataset of the subject, performing a vertical comparison of the medical imaging dataset and the reference dataset to create a data inconsistency metric, and repeating the preceding steps to create a plurality of data inconsistency metrics. The method further includes performing a horizontal comparison of the data inconsistency metrics to identify inconsistent data, compensating for the inconsistent data, and reconstructing an image of the subject with reduced artifacts compared to the prior image.
