METHODS FOR MOTION COMPENSATED IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION AND SYSTEM RELATED THERETO

Featured are methods for reconstruction of images acquired from any of a number of scanning devices or apparatuses known to those skilled in the art which methods are established so as to provide a mechanism for compensating for motion of an object being imaged. Such methods of the present invention are such as to allow the clinician to select one or more specific methodologies that is appropriate for the expected motion, severity or complexity of the motion and efficient processing of projection data. Also feature are systems, apparatuses, software code and computer readable media which embody such methodologies.
