Systems and methods for motion mitigation determinations

Emission event data of an object of interest is acquired with a detector comprising a plurality of rings defining corresponding slices. Also, an amount of motion for each of a plurality of segments is determined with one or more processing units, wherein each segment corresponds to less than an axial field of view (AFOV) of the detector. Further, motion mitigation is performed for segments for which the amount of motion satisfies a threshold to provide motion mitigated data, and not performed for segments for which the amount of motion does not satisfy the threshold to provide non-mitigated data. An image is reconstructed using the motion mitigated data and the non-mitigated data, and the image is displayed on a display.
