This
study investigates the impact of motion in simultaneously acquired myocardial
PET/MRI data and finds a significant discrepancy in functional data between
registered to post-mortem images to non-registered images.
Comparison of net influx rate (Ki)
between original dynamic PET data and transformed dynamic PET data. Heart
polar-map comparison is shown in a) & b). Correlation scatter plot shows
significant correlation with correlation coefficient =
0.959 in c).
Comparison
of net influx rate (Ki) between original and transformed
images at 4 different segments (left anterior descending artery, left
circumflex artery, right coronary artery, apex) of heart and 3 different time
points (before the lipid infusion, during the lipid infusion and after the
lipid infusion).
