1. A method for motion compensation in live images, comprising:
acquiring a first set of imaging data from a visible sector of an imaging system, the visible sector including a region of interest displayed to a user;
acquiring a second set of imaging data, at an area offset from the visible sector, during the acquiring of the first set of imaging data; and
using the second set of imaging data to compensate for gross motion of the region of interest resulting in displacement of at least a portion of the region of interest outside of the visible sector, wherein using the second set of imaging data to compensate for gross motion of the region of interest includes using the second set of imaging data to supplement missing portions of data from the first set of imaging data, the missing portions resulting from the displacement of at least the portion of the region of interest outside of the visible sector.
