BACKGROUND: Cardiac and respiratory motions in clinical positron emission tomography (PET) are a major contributor to inaccurate PET quantification and lesion characterisation. In this study, an elastic motion-correction (eMOCO) technique based on mass preservation optical flow is adapted and investigated for positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI) applications.
METHODS: The eMOCO technique was investigated in a motion management QA phantom and in twenty-four patients who underwent PET-MRI for dedicated liver imaging and nine patients for cardiac PET-MRI evaluation. Acquired data were reconstructed with eMOCO and gated motion correction techniques at cardiac, respiratory and dual gating modes, and compared to static images. Standardized uptake value (SUV), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of lesion activities from each gating mode and correction technique were measured and their means/standard deviation (SD) were compared using 2-ways ANOVA analysis and post-hoc Tukey's test.
RESULTS: Lesions' SNR are highly recovered from phantom and patient studies. The SD of the SUV resulted from the eMOCO technique was statistically significantly less (P<0.01) than the SD resulted from conventional gated and static SUVs at the liver, lung and heart.
CONCLUSIONS: The eMOCO technique was successfully implemented in PET-MRI in a clinical setting and produced the lowest SD compared to gated and static images, and hence provided the least noisy PET images. Therefore, the eMOCO technique can potentially be used on PET-MRI for improved respiratory and cardiac motion correction.
