The diagnostic accuracy of Positron-Emission-Tomography/Magnetic Resonance (PET/MR) is often reduced in regions affected by respiratory and cardiac motion. These motion-induced artifacts can be corrected by an MR-derived motion model (MM). Here, we improved the previously presented PET/MR motion correction system by two new sampling trajectories for the MR motion imaging and extend it by the usage of an additional Compressed Sensing reconstruction (BART), an optical-flow based registration (LAP) and the incorporation of motion correction into a listmode-based PET reconstruction (CASToR) which are all integrated into the Gadgetron-based reconstruction pipeline for a clinical feasible setup. In-vivo patient data substantiated the improvements.
