چکیده
Figure 2: Percent-error maps in sagittal, axial, and coronal views (clockwise from top left) of simulated PET images compared to scaled-CT, overlaid on T1-w images for one patient. Panel A shows the error maps for the DUseg method, while Panel B shows the error maps for the R2seg method. Errors with ±1% have been set to 0% to allow for better visualization of larger errors. 2124 Development and Evaluation of a UTE-based Method for Attenuation Correction in MR-PET Neurologic Studies Meher Juttukonda, Yasheng Chen, Yi Su, Tammie Benzinger, Brian Rubin, David Lalush, and Hongyu An Biomedical Engineering, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States, Radiology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States, Radiology, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, United States

Comparison 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 کاملRegion specific optimization of continuous linear attenuation coefficients based on UTE (RESOLUTE): application to PET/MR brain imaging
The reconstruction of PET brain data in a PET/MR hybrid scanner is challenging in the absence of transmission sources, where MR images are used for MR-based attenuation correction (MR-AC). The main challenge of MR-AC is to separate bone and air, as neither have a signal in traditional MR images, and to assign the correct linear attenuation coefficient to bone. The ultra-short echo time (UTE) MR...
متن کاملPET/MR attenuation correction in brain imaging using a continuous bone signal derived from UTE
Department of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine and PET, Rigshospitalet Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark In the absence of transmission sources in combined clinical PET/MR systems, MR images are used for MR-based attenuation correction (MRAC). The main challenge in MR-AC is to separate the bone and air, as neither have a signal in the MR images. In the attenuation maps supplied by the vendor...
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...
