Abstract

PET/MR imaging is a one-stop shop technique for pediatric diseases allowing not only an accurate clinical assessment of tumors at staging and restaging but also the diagnosis of neurologic, inflammatory, and infectious diseases in complex cases. Moreover, applying PET kinetic analyses and sequences such as diffusion-weighted imaging as well as quantitative analysis investigating the relationship between disease metabolic activity and cellularity can be applied. Complex radiomics analysis can also be performed.
