Gaspar Delso (UniversitätsSpital Zürich)23/05/2018, 16:20TalkPituitary tumours account for ~16% of central nervous system tumors and they are the second most frequently reported histology in this group. Due to their small size, pituitary surgery is challenging and precise lesion localization through imaging is therefore a critical factor for a successful outcome. Simultaneous PET/MR is well suited for lesion identification and localization but it...Go to contribution page

Greg Zaharchuk (Stanford University)23/05/2018, 16:40TalkWe directly compared standard and multi-delay arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI measurements of cerebral blood flow (CBF) to simultaneous reference [15O]-water PET scans on hybrid PET/MRI in patients with Moyamoya disease. For these Moyamoya patients (N=15) with extremely long arterial transit times, multi-delay ASL outperforms standard ASL in regional correlation and reduces bias relative to...Go to contribution page

Gaspar Delso (GE Healthcare)23/05/2018, 17:00TalkPET/MR presents a unique opportunity to acquire simultaneous, complementary, functional imaging data in human and animal studies. Specifically, 23Na and 13C, termed 'x-nuclei', present novel imaging contrasts which inform upon cellular function. Due to the differing magnetic properties of x-nuclei, increased demands are placed upon gradient and RF hardware for acquisition. However, little data...Go to contribution page
