Magnetic resonance-based attenuation correction for PET/MR hybrid imaging using continuous valued attenuation maps.
OBJECTIVES Attenuation correction of positron emission tomographic (PET) data is critical in providing accurate and quantitative PET volumes. Deriving an attenuation map (μ-map) from magnetic resonance (MR) volumes is a challenge in PET/MR hybrid imaging. The difficulty lies in differentiating cortical bone from air from standard MR sequences because both these classes yield little to no MR sig...
متن کاملFeasibility of using respiration‐averaged MR images for attenuation correction of cardiac PET/MR imaging
Cardiac imaging is a promising application for combined PET/MR imaging. However, current MR imaging protocols for whole-body attenuation correction can produce spatial mismatch between PET and MR-derived attenuation data owing to a disparity between the two modalities' imaging speeds. We assessed the feasibility of using a respiration-averaged MR (AMR) method for attenuation correction of cardi...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
متن کاملAttenuation Correction for Brain PET imaging using Deep Neural Network based on Dixon and ZTE MR images
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a functional imaging modality widely used in neuroscience studies. To obtain meaningful quantitative results from PET images, attenuation correction is necessary during image reconstruction. For PET/MR hybrid systems, PET attenuation is challenging as Magnetic Resonance (MR) images do not reflect attenuation coefficients directly. To address this issue, we ...
متن کاملMarkerless attenuation correction for carotid MRI surface receiver coils in combined PET/MR imaging.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of attenuation of MR coils on quantitative carotid PET/MR exams. Additionally, an automated attenuation correction method for flexible carotid MR coils was developed and evaluated. The attenuation of the carotid coil was measured by imaging a uniform water phantom injected with 37 MBq of 18F-FDG in a combined PET/MR scanner for 24 min with and...
