MOTION ASPECTS IN JOINT IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION AND NONRIGID MOTION ESTIMATION by Se Young Chun Chair: Jeffrey A. Fessler Many medical imaging applications often require relatively long image acquisition times to form high-SNR images. However, long scan times can lead to motion artifacts. Conventional acquisition and reconstruction methods must sacrifice enough measurements for less motion artifac...

Joint injuries during sporting activities might be reduced by understanding the extent of the dynamic motion of joints prone to injury during maneuvers performed in the field. Because instrumented spatial linkages (ISLs) have been widely used to measure joint motion, it would be useful to extend the functionality of an ISL to measure joint motion in a dynamic environment. The objectives of the ...
