Simultaneous PET/MRI creates diagnostic-quality images
Structural, functional, and molecular imaging of patients with brain tumors is feasible with diagnostic imaging quality using simultaneous hybrid PET/MR image acquisition, according to a study in the August issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
A pilot study in Germany of 10 patients with intracranial masses found no significant artifacts or distortions using a hybrid scanner configuration that features an MRI-compatible PET insert placed in the magnet bore. The lead author of the study was Andreas Boss, MD, from the department of diagnostic and interventional radiology at Eberhard Karls University Tübingen in Tübingen, Germany (JNM, August 2010, Vol. 51:8, pp. 1198-1205).
