Abstract

A method of processing and reconstructing dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) sinogram data comprises: acquiring PET sinogram data using continuous bed motion having a varying velocity; recording a plurality of position-time coordinate pairs while acquiring the PET sinogram data; determining respective acquisition times of each of a plurality of slices of the image, based on the plurality of position-time coordinates; and reconstructing respective parametric images for each respective slice in the plurality of slices.
