Abstract
A method for performing single gating in a positron emission tomography (PET) system includes: receiving list-mode data acquired by scanning an imaging object using the PET system, the list-mode data being affected by quasi-periodic motion of the imaging object; producing a plurality of vectors based on the received list-mode data; generating a reference vector based on the produced plurality of vectors; selecting, from the produced plurality of vectors, a set of vectors corresponding to a single gate, based on respective differences compared with the generated reference vector; and generating an image of the imaging object based on the selected set of vectors.
