Ms Kimberly Jackson (Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, NY USA)20/05/2015, 18:007 - Clinical MR-PETTalkBackground: Dixon-based MR is acquired for attenuation correction of brain PET during PET/MR. Early adopters of PET/MR have noted variability in the performance of Dixon-based tissue segmentation, and questions exist regarding potential impacts on quantitative accuracy in dual-time-point studies. Methods: Ten patients injected with 10 mCi FDG underwent dual-time-point clinical brain...Go to contribution page

Dr Maged Goubran (Stanford University), Dr Michael Zeineh (Stanford University)20/05/2015, 18:207 - Clinical MR-PETTalkAlzheimer’s disease (AD) has been reported to show decreased metabolic activity in the hippocampus using FDG PET-MR. Histological data suggests that the hippocampal subfields are selectively affected in AD. Given the simultaneous imaging nature of integrated PET-MR scanners and the multimodal capabilities of PET-MR, our purpose here is to assess FDG activity, as well as ASL perfusion in the...Go to contribution page
