Abstract
The thorax structure movements (breathing, heart motion
and patient motion) during the positron emission
tomography (PET) scanning cause deformations and blurring
to PET scans. These artifacts are important reasons, for
the mis-registration of PET volumes. In this paper, a
breathing simulated PET phantom was constructed by
deforming simulated (static) PET volume according to
breathing model. The constructed volume was used as a
ground truth in the assessment of a non-rigid
registration method for cardiac MR and PET volumes.
Results showed that the assessed non-rigid registration
method was more accurate than a rigid registration method
which was used as a reference.
