PET–MR Imaging in Head and Neck
Head and neck cancers are a diverse group of cancers with high morbidity and mortality within an area of complex anatomy. High-quality anatomic and functional imaging is essential for preoperative,…
Neurologic Applications of PET/MR Imaging
PET/MR imaging benefits neurologic clinical care and research by providing spatially and temporally matched anatomic MR imaging, advanced MR physiologic imaging, and metabolic PET imaging. MR imaging sequences and PET…
Practical Considerations for Clinical PET/MR Imaging
Clinical PET/MR imaging is currently performed at a number of centers around the world as part of routine standard of care. This article focuses on issues and considerations for a…
Improved Detection of Small Pulmonary Nodules Through Simultaneous MR/PET Imaging
Magnetic resonance (MR)/PET scanners provide an imaging platform that enables simultaneous acquisition of MR and PET data in perfect spatial and temporal registration. This feature allows improving image quality for…
Magnetic Resonance–Derived Improvements in PET Imaging
Simultaneous PET-MR imaging improves deficiencies in PET images. The primary areas in which magnetic resonance (MR) has been applied to guide PET results are in correction for patient motion and…
Attenuation Correction of PET/MR Imaging
PET/MR is a promising multimodality imaging approach. Attenuation is by far the largest correction required for quantitative PET imaging. MR-based attenuation correction have been extensively pursued, especially for brain imaging,…
Principles of Simultaneous PET/MR Imaging
