4D POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION BASED ON BIOMECHANICAL RESPIRATORY MOTION

Abstract

Respiratory-induced organ motion is a technical challenge to nuclear imaging and to particle therapy dose calculations for lung cancer treatment in particular. Internal organ tissue dis- placements and deformations induced by breathing need to be taken into account when calculating Monte Carlo dose distri- butions or when performing tomographic reconstructions for PET imaging. This paper proposes a method to reconstruct PET activities over tetrahedral meshes which are deformed based on biomechanical patient specific model of the respi- ratory system to tackle the non reproductibility of the breath- ing. We also describe the adaptation of the popular List-Mode Maximum Likelihood Estimation (LM-MLEM) reconstruc- tion algorithm to motion estimation model using the finite el- ement method (FEM). Our simulations demonstrate the accu- racy of the proposed 4D LM-MLEM reconstruction algorithm based on biomechanical model and its capability to correct motion artifacts due to the breathing.
