Recent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent
Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...
متن کاملEvaluation of a clinical PET/MR system
Hybrid imaging devices combining Positron-Emission-Tomography (PET) with Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging (MRI) have been shown to possess a great potential for small animal studies. Recently PET/MR systems have also been built for human applications. Here we present an evaluation of the first hybrid PET/MR device, which has the capabilities to perform simultaneous PET/MR acquisitions of the human br...
متن کاملSimultaneous MR/PET imaging of the human brain: feasibility study.
The purpose of this study was to apply a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-compatible positron emission tomographic (PET) detector technology for simultaneous MR/PET imaging of the human brain and skull base. The PET detector ring consists of lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO) scintillation crystals in combination with avalanche photodiodes (APDs) mounted in a clinical 3-T MR imager with use of the ...
متن کاملMR - PET : Combining Function , Anatomy , and More Markus Schwaiger
It is widely accepted that coregistration of anatomical information improves the diagnostic value of functional imaging. At the moment, this is reflected in the success of hybrid scanners using PET and CT imaging. But the combination of PET and MR imaging may also offer advantages, such as higher soft tissue contrast in the MR anatomical images, real simultaneous acquisition, and minimum radiat...
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 ...
