Yttrium 90 radio-embolization is a therapeutic procedure that delivers radiation directly to hepatic tumors. Post-procedure PET imaging is a useful tool in detection of shunting to other organs, and in dose calculations and quantification. Both of these applications would suffer from errors due to breathing motion and thus motion correction is critical. In this study an MR-based motion correction approach is developed and implemented using a simultaneous PET/MRI scanner. Phantom and human data are presented.
