Abstract

PET and MRI are well-established medical imaging techniques that have become valuable clinical and research tools. However, the incapability of PET to provide adequate assessment of molecular and metabolic behavior of tissue has limited the capabilities of PET and MR techniques used separately, each providing different but complementary information. The combination of PET and MRI's complementary data can forseeably enable truly simultaneous acquisition and bridge the gap between molecular and anatomical diagnosis criteria [ 1 Pichler B.J.
