Abstract

Brain PET/MRI is a relatively novel imaging modality which offers inherent advantages over traditional hybrid imaging techniques, such as PET/CT, in the evaluation of the central nervous system, particularly cognitively impaired patients with clinically suspected dementia and neurodegenerative disease [1]. Specifically, the advent of simultaneous PET with MRI allows for precise anatomic localization and superior soft tissue contrast and reduces exposure to ionizing radiation. Furthermore, hybrid PET/MR scanners with simultaneous imaging capabilities allow for PET and MR images to be obtained in a single, convenient session, which optimizes image fusion and co-registration capabilities. This seamless incorporation of multimodality functional and structural images, acquired simultaneously, allows for higher quality interpretations.
