Abstract
The disclosure herein provides methods, systems, and devices for removing prospective motion correction from medical imaging scans. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for removing motion correction from biomedical imaging scan data comprises tracking, by a computer system, motion of an object being scanned; generating, by the computer system, motion tracking data; adjusting, by the computer system, a biomedical imaging scanner, using the motion tracking data, to compensate in real time for object motion, such that raw image data generated by the scanner can be reconstructed into motion-corrected images; inverting, by the computer system, the motion tracking data; and applying, by the computer system, the inverted motion tracking data to the raw image data to generate de-corrected image data representative of what the scanner would produce had the scanner not compensated for motion, wherein the de-corrected image data can be reconstructed into de-corrected images, wherein the computer system comprises an electronic memory and a computer processor.
