Hybrid scanner brings molecular functioning to the forefront

Monday, June 15, 2009 - 12:35 in Physics & Chemistry

A major barrier to developing a hybrid positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system could be removed by using a novel approach for reconstructing data, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting in Toronto. Many researchers view fused PET/MR as an important next step in improving imaging capabilities and believe that PET/MR could become a viable alternative to hybrid PET/computed tomography (CT) systems.
