Abstract :
We propose a new method of head motion tracking for positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging. This method uses one optical camera and one solid marker, differing from the conventional method, which uses two or more cameras and markers (e.g. the POLARIS system). We expect this to be useful for jPET-D4, whose patient port is long and small. We present the principle of the head motion measurement and show the results of preliminary experiments.
