In the field of oncology, simultaneous PET/MR scanners
offer a great potential for improving diagnostic
accuracy. However for accurate lesion detection and
quantification, the induced motion artifacts in the PET
image originating from a long free-breathing acquisition
have to be compensated. The simultaneous acquisition
allows performing a MR-based non-rigid motion correction
of the PET data. Therefore it is essential to acquire a
4D MR image as accurate and fast as possible under
free-breathing conditions. We propose a clinical
feasible motion correction setup which uses a Compressed
Sensing acquisition. In-vivo patient data substantiates
the diagnostic improvement of the motion corrected PET.
