Abstract
A method and apparatus for motion correction of image information collected by a cardiology inspection system. The cardiology inspection system collects image information from an exercising patient. The system corrects for the patient motion to provide dynamic time segmented images of radioactive dye flow through the patient's cardiac system, removing anomalous displacements from the images and allowing unambiguous evaluation of heart functionality while under physical stress.
