Figure 5

Reference centroid misplacement as a function of three (3) motion amplitudes and eight (8) initial motion phases for the 10- and 31.5-mm diameter targets. Plots were generated by reconstructing scans from single-slice fast (1-sec), multi-slice fast (1-sec), and single-slice slow (4-sec) scan techniques, respectively. The plots in the first, second and third rows represent misplacement of the reference centroid location (0) in the S-I, A-P, and L-R directions, respectively. The blue, pink and teal colored lines represent motion amplitudes in the S-I direction of ± 5, ± 10, and ± 15 mm, respectively. Each S-I motion is synchronized with an A-P and an L-R motion of ± 2 and ± 5 mm, respectively.
