A hybrid method for generation of attenuation map for MR-based attenuation correction of PET data in prostate PET/MR imaging
Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and Research Center for Molecular and Cellular Imaging, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Recently introduced PET/MRI scanners present significant advantages in comparison with PET/CT. However, the lack of accurate method for generation of μmap from MR images for implementation of MRAC is hampering further development. I...
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 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 کاملComparison 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 کاملImprovement of attenuation correction in time-of-flight PET/MR imaging with a positron-emitting source.
UNLABELLED Quantitative PET imaging relies on accurate attenuation correction. Recently, there has been growing interest in combining state-of-the-art PET systems with MR imaging in a sequential or fully integrated setup. As CT becomes unavailable for these systems, an alternative approach to the CT-based reconstruction of attenuation coefficients (μ values) at 511 keV must be found. Deriving μ...
