Abstract

Embodiments and processes of computer tomography perform tasks associated with selecting a portion of projection or emission data that contain the least amount of motion based upon a predetermined motion index, a derivative of plane integral (DPI). Other embodiments and processes of computer tomography perform tasks associated with determining an amount of direction-dependent motion in an object based upon a comparison of the DPIs in predetermined directions.
