Abstract

A tomography imaging apparatus is provided, including: a data acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of partial data respectively corresponding to a plurality of consecutive angular sections by performing a tomography scan on a moving object; and an image processing unit configured to measure global motion of the object and motion of a first region in the object based on the plurality of partial data, acquire first information representing motion of the object by reflecting the global motion in the motion of the first region, and reconstruct a final tomography image representing the object based on the first information.
