Clinical PET/MR imaging offers diagnostic advantages over PET/CT but requires careful protocol selection. Optimizing protocols balances accuracy and efficiency for routine patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance (PET/MR) imaging is increasingly integrated into clinical practice.
  • Routine PET/MR imaging is established at various global healthcare centers.
  • PET/MR offers expanded capabilities compared to PET/Computed Tomography (PET/CT).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline key considerations for establishing and managing clinical PET/MR imaging programs.
  • To address the practical aspects of implementing routine PET/MR imaging.
  • To highlight strategies for optimizing PET/MR imaging protocols for clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices and challenges in clinical PET/MR imaging.
  • Discussion of factors influencing PET/MR implementation.
