A method for estimating motion of a part of an object, using a CT imaging system, is therefore provided in one embodiment of the present invention. This method includes steps of: scanning the object with the CT imaging system so as to acquire conjugate data samples; analyzing the conjugate data samples to remove data representative of overlapping, non-moving portions of the object; and estimating a cardiac motion from the analyzed conjugate data samples.Advantageously, no EKG device is required estimating cardiac motion when this method for estimating motion is employed.
