A method for motion compensated iterative CT reconstruction of a cardiac region of interest is presented. The 4D motion field used during reconstruction is obtained from a three-dimensional thin-plate spline warping of a limited number of anatomical point landmarks of the right coronary artery. Results on a clinical case are compared with standard gated iterative reconstruction. The motion compensated iterative reconstruction provides sharp images of the right coronary artery with significantly better image quality compared to traditional gated reconstruction.
