Do carotid MR surface coils affect PET quantification in PET/MR imaging?
Translational and Molecular Imaging Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA To evaluate the effect of surface coils for carotid MR imaging on PET quantification in a clinical simultaneous whole-body PET/MR scanner. A cylindrical phantom was filled with a homogeneous 2L water-FDG mixture at a starting dose of 301.2MBq. Clinical PET/MR and PET/CT systems were used to...
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...
متن کاملHigh resolution carotid black-blood 3T MR with parallel imaging and dedicated 4-channel surface coils
BACKGROUND Most of the carotid plaque MR studies have been performed using black-blood protocols at 1.5 T without parallel imaging techniques. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a multi-sequence, black-blood MR protocol using parallel imaging and a dedicated 4-channel surface coil for vessel wall imaging of the carotid arteries at 3 T. MATERIALS AND METHODS 14 healthy volunteers and 14...
متن کاملComparison of MR imaging breast coils.
In one volunteer, five breast coils were evaluated for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), uniformity, comfort, subject orientation, access to the breast, and unilateral imaging options. The four-coil arrays provided superior SNR, imaging flexibility, and access. Uniformity and comfort were issues with all coils. Substantial design differences exist between coils; purchasers should ensure that their s...
متن کاملPET/MR imaging of sarcomas: effect of PET quantification by classification of tissue
Dept. of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine and PET, Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen, Denmark PET quantification in combined PET/MR can be biased, as the standard Dixon-WaterFat segmentation (DWFS) attenuation correction (AC) method does not account for bone. Here, we assess PET quantification in PET/MR imaging for patients with bone sarcoma (BS) or soft tissue sarcoma (STS). We inc...
