Precision PET attenuation correction for combined PET/MR imaging of cardiac sarcoidosis
PROJECT SUMMARY Combined PET/MR, enabling simultaneous PET and MRI, has the potential to at least match the diagnostic performance of reviewing separate PET/CT and MRI scans, in a single integrated exam of the heart. This will substantially reduce the patient burden, exam costs, and radiation compared to serial imaging on PET/CT and MRI, and benefit the workup of multiple heart diseases. Further, by enabling accurate spatial overlap of PET and MR images, and the ability to generate gold standard metabolic measures from extended dynamic PET scans, PET/MR could outperform interpretation of serial scans. However, quantitative accuracy of tracer uptake on PET images from PET/MR studies…
