Abstract
A method for manipulating motion ghosts is disclosed. The method includes acquiring two image data sets, each including a time averaged image component and a ghost component and processing these components to separate the ghosts from the desired image and further using the ghost information to produce a dynamic image. Motion monitoring systems are not required. Improved scan times and noise control are allowed over previous methods.
