PET/MRI: current status and future perspectives

خلاصه انگلیسی

Hybrid imaging is specified as the combination of two or more imaging technologies into a single, new form of imaging. Typically, this new form is synergistic that is, more powerful than the sum of its parts. Although some hybrid imaging modalities may be used purely to depict anatomy, the most exciting characteristic of hybrid imaging is its potential to show molecular processes in vivo within their larger anatomic context. PET/MRI is a first-of-its-kind imaging technology approved by the FDA in 2014. This combined technology is used for the diagnosis, staging and treatment of a variety of conditions, including cancer, neurological, oncological and musculoskeletal diseases. PET/MRI provides high-quality images while reducing patient exposure to radiation. PET/MRI may increase diagnostic accuracy over the single modalities. In this approach we focus on clinical applications of PET/MRI: current status and future perspectives.
