In response to the attenuation corrected image showing regions of interest, with the first imaging system or another imaging system acquiring high resolution data of one or more portions of the first field of view containing the regions of interest. The reconstruction processor reconstructs the high resolution anatomical data into one or more high resolution images of the regions of interest.
