Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can now be acquired in unison with magnetic
resonance (MR) scans as a single resource. This hybrid PET-MR solution combines the …

Introduction Positron emission tomography (PET) is the most sensitive of all medical imaging
modalities for quantitatively probing biologic processes at the molecular level. However …

Instrumentation for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has experienced
tremendous improvements in performance over the past 60 years since it was first conceived …

The combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) in
a single scanner (PET/CT) allows anatomic and metabolic images to be fused and …

Over a decade has passed since the introduction of PET/MR hybrid systems in the clinic,
wherein the main advantages and drawbacks of PET/MR imaging from a medical, technical …

After the very successful clinical introduction of combined PET/CT imaging a decade ago, a
hardware combination of PET and MR is following suit. Today, three different approaches …

PET and MRI are established clinical tools which provide complementary information, but
clinical workflow limits widespread clinical application of both modalities in combination. The …
