1. An image reconstruction system, comprising: a gantry comprising a rotor, an x-ray tube, and an image detector, wherein the rotor is movably attached to the gantry, and the x-ray tube and the image detector are attached to the rotor; an operator console comprising an input device and an output device; and a processor in communication with the gantry and the operator console, and configured to receive scan data of a subject from the image detector and reconstruct the scan data into output images; wherein the system performs the steps of (a) acquiring, with the processor via the gantry, scan data over a plurality of motion cycles of the subject; (b) generating, via the processor, representative motion data from the scan data over the plurality of motion cycles; (c) outputting a visualization to the output device of the representative motion data; and (d) outputting image reconstruction recommendations to the output device based on the scan data, wherein the outputted image reconstruction recommendations are visually overlaid on top of the visualization.
