Research Abstract

Integrated PET-MRI imaging has been developed recently, as a next generation modality followed by PET-CT. In the present study, PET-MRI fusion, generated from PET and MR images obtained from different scanners, was evaluated regarding technical aspects and clinical relevance. Advantages of PET-MRI over PET/CT were demonstrated in evaluating pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and uterine and ovarian cancer.
