An MR-PET scanner has the potential of acquiring anatomical, functional and gross
metabolic tissue status through MRI/MRS and metabolic activity through PET. The ultimate …

There has been a longstanding interest in positron emission tomography (PET) in
combination with computed tomography (CT). Mostly because of the lack of structural …

Efforts at developing instrumentation for combined positron emission tomography and
magnetic resonance imaging have gained considerable momentum in recent years …

Many groups attempt to optimize imaging protocols on PET/MR imaging systems. Although
research protocols may take as long as 60–90 min, much more efficient clinical workflows …

Hybrid PET/MR imaging has long been considered an impossible combination due to the
difficulty of ensuring the functioning of PET detectors within the magnetic field of an MR …

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is based on detecting two time-coincident high-
energy photons from the emission of a positron-emitting radioisotope. The physics of the …

Kurzfassung Positronen-Emissions-Tomographie (PET) ermöglicht die Visualisierung von
Stoffwechselprozessen auf molekularer Ebene. Auf Grund des Tracer-basierten …

Simultaneous imaging with PET and MR imaging offers the potential for never-before-
possible methods of combining and synthesizing information from two complementary …

The advent of simultaneous PET/MRI brought a large amount of possibilities in research and
