The conundrum of modality selection in clinical diagnostic imaging is that modalities with the highest sensitivity have relatively poor resolution, while those with high resolution have relatively poor sensitivity. In recent years, the idea of using multiple modalities in conjunction has gained in popularity and researchers have come to realize that the complementary abilities of different imaging modalities could be harnessed to great effect by using them in tandem. The idea of combining imaging technologies moved to the mainstream with the advent of the first successful commercial fused instruments. The first fused PET/CT instrument, developed in 1998 by Townsend and colleagues in collaboration with Siemens Medical, was available commercially in 2001. The “Biograph” was named as one of the “Inventions of the Year” in 2000 by Time magazine, and its success was such that by 2003 fused PET/CT instruments were available from all of the major clinical instrument manufacturers, GE, Philips, CTI, and Siemens. 1 Over the ensuing years, PET/CT sales increased with such vigor that by the year 2006 there were virtually no sales of standalone PET instruments; all PET sales were as part of multimodality systems. 2-4 The next wave of innovation has been in PET/MRI-fused instruments, which have generated much hope for improved patient safety and imaging capability over PET/CT. Although research on PET/MRI instruments was initiated around the same time as PET/CT, the economic and engineering challenges of merging the two modalities slowed development, and the first commercial PET/MRI prototype for a human scale hybrid scanner was
