Abstract
The Potential of PET/MRI Imaging in Oncology: a Comment to a Summary Report of the First PET/MRI Workshop in Tuebingen in 2012
Highlights
A recent volume of Molecular Imaging and Biology includes a report of a workshop on preclinical and clinical positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI is emerging as a powerful tool to image biological processes including tumor perfusion, oxygenation, metabolism, and others
It is noteworthy that computed tomography (CT) has remained the dominant force in cancer imaging despite significant expansion of MRI capabilities
Summary
A recent volume of Molecular Imaging and Biology includes a report of a workshop on preclinical and clinical positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is emerging as a powerful tool to image biological processes including tumor perfusion, oxygenation, metabolism, and others (reviewed in [3, 4]). Almost every intervention contemplated in cancer patients (biopsy, surgery, radiation therapy) requires the use of CT imaging.
