Comparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
متن کاملPET/MR attenuation correction in brain imaging using a continuous bone signal derived from UTE
Department of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine and PET, Rigshospitalet Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark In the absence of transmission sources in combined clinical PET/MR systems, MR images are used for MR-based attenuation correction (MRAC). The main challenge in MR-AC is to separate the bone and air, as neither have a signal in the MR images. In the attenuation maps supplied by the vendor...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance-based attenuation correction for PET/MR hybrid imaging using continuous valued attenuation maps.
OBJECTIVES Attenuation correction of positron emission tomographic (PET) data is critical in providing accurate and quantitative PET volumes. Deriving an attenuation map (μ-map) from magnetic resonance (MR) volumes is a challenge in PET/MR hybrid imaging. The difficulty lies in differentiating cortical bone from air from standard MR sequences because both these classes yield little to no MR sig...
متن کاملFeasibility of using respiration‐averaged MR images for attenuation correction of cardiac PET/MR imaging
Cardiac imaging is a promising application for combined PET/MR imaging. However, current MR imaging protocols for whole-body attenuation correction can produce spatial mismatch between PET and MR-derived attenuation data owing to a disparity between the two modalities' imaging speeds. We assessed the feasibility of using a respiration-averaged MR (AMR) method for attenuation correction of cardi...
متن کاملImage artifacts from MR-based attenuation correction in dedicated PET/MR breast coil for PET/MR mammography
Materials and Methods Attenuation map of hybrid F-18 FDG PET/MR mammography in 38 patients diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma were retrospectively inspected for artifacts. The artifacts were subdivided into 2 groups with minor (group A) and major artifacts (group B) on the basis of their severity. The impact of μ-map artifacts on PET interpretation was evaluated qualitatively via visual a...
