Abstract

See full text

A method implemented using at least one processor includes receiving time-varying image dataset generated by a medical imaging modality. The image dataset corresponds to a bed position and is affected by quasi-periodic motion data. The method also includes applying a signal decomposition technique to the time-varying image dataset to generate a plurality of dataset components and a plurality of motion signals. The method also includes determining reference data based on the time-varying image dataset, wherein the reference data is representative of a direction of the quasi-periodic motion. The method further includes deriving polarity of each of the plurality of motion signals based on the reference data to generate a plurality of sign corrected motion signals. The method also includes determining a gating signal corresponding to the bed position based on at least one of the plurality of sign corrected motion signals.
