Image degradation due to cardiac and respiratory motion remains a challenge for cardiac PET-MR imaging. Here we propose a simultaneous dual-phase PET and Coronary MR angiography (CMRA) acquisition and reconstruction framework that allows for the visualisation of coronary anatomy, estimation of ventricular function and motion-corrected myocardial PET in a single efficient examination. A validation study in healthy subjects shows that left ventricular ejection fraction can be estimated from dual-phase CMRA images at 3T. Results from patients with cardiovascular disease show improvements in respiratory motion corrected dual-phase CMRA and in PET image quality when applying both cardiac and respiratory motion correction.
