    Abstract: An imaging system and method are disclosed. An MR image and measured B0 field map of a target volume in a subject are reconstructed, where the MR image includes one or more bright and/or dark regions. One or more distinctive constituent materials corresponding to the bright regions are identified. Each dark region is iteratively labeled as one or more ambiguous constituent materials. Susceptibility values corresponding to each distinctive and iteratively labeled ambiguous constituent material is assigned. A simulated B0 field map is iteratively generated based on the assigned susceptibility values. A similarity metric is determined between the measured and simulated B0 field maps. Constituent materials are identified in the dark regions based on the similarity metric to ascertain corresponding susceptibility values. The MRI data is corrected based on the assigned and ascertained susceptibility values. A diagnostic assessment of the target volume is determined based on the corrected MRI data.

    Abstract: A method implemented using at least one processor includes receiving time-varying image dataset generated by a medical imaging modality. The image dataset corresponds to a bed position and is affected by quasi-periodic motion data. The method also includes applying a signal decomposition technique to the time-varying image dataset to generate a plurality of dataset components and a plurality of motion signals. The method also includes determining reference data based on the time-varying image dataset, wherein the reference data is representative of a direction of the quasi-periodic motion. The method further includes deriving polarity of each of the plurality of motion signals based on the reference data to generate a plurality of sign corrected motion signals. The method also includes determining a gating signal corresponding to the bed position based on at least one of the plurality of sign corrected motion signals.
