Abstract
Systems and methods for reconstructing medical images based on motion estimation are disclosed. Measurement data from positron emission tomography (PET) measurement data, and modality measurement data from an anatomy modality, such as computed tomography (CT) data, is received from an image scanning system. A trained deep learning process is applied to the PET measurement data and the modality measurement data to generate displacement vector field (DVF) data characterizing motion between the PET measurement data and the modality measurement data. A modality image is reconstructed from the modality measurement data, and the modality image is adjusted based on the DVF data. A PET image is then reconstructed from the PET measurement data and the adjusted modality image, and the PET image is adjusted based on a computed inverse of the DVF data. The adjusted PET image and the modality image spatially match, and are displayed.
