Summary of the First ISMRM-SNMMI Workshop on PET/MRI: Applications and Limitations

Thomas A Hope et al. J Nucl Med. 2019 Oct.

Abstract

Since the introduction of simultaneous PET/MRI in 2011, there have been significant advancements. In this review, we highlight several technical advancements that have been made primarily in attenuation and motion correction and discuss the status of multiple clinical applications using PET/MRI. This review is based on the experience at the first PET/MRI conference cosponsored by the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.

Keywords: PET/MRI; clinical applications, attenuation correction.
