Abstract
A method for correcting subject motion in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging includes acquiring navigator signals from the subject with a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system. The navigator signals are used to determine subject motion during a PET scan relative to a reference position and corrective values therefrom. Sinogram data acquired during the PET scan can then be corrected using the corrective values. PET images are then reconstructed from the corrected sinogram data.
