Motion correction in SPECT and planar radionuclide studies

Detection and correction of patient motion during the collection of diagnostic data is an important step in the processing of radionuclide studies, since even a small shift of the patient's body at this moment can affect the reliability of diagnostics results. Algorithms for motion correction in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and dynamic scintigraphy are considered. For the first time it's suggested to use optical flow for the data of radionuclide studies.
