Abstract
Various systems and computer-implemented methods for high sensitivity continuous bed motion (HS-CBM) scans are disclosed. A HS-CBM scan protocol comprising at least a first zone and a second zone is calculated. The HS-CBM scan maximizes scan sensitivity within an area of interest. A moveable bed is operated at a first movement rate within an imaging field of view of an imaging modality. The first movement rate corresponds to the first zone. The moveable bed is operated at a second movement rate within the imaging field of view of the imaging modality. The second movement rate corresponds to the second zone. A medical image is generated using scan data obtained in the first zone and the second zone.
