最近开发了各种集成的PET/MR成像系统，以提供对组织中癌症的改进的临床评估，这些组织可能通过MR成像在解剖学上比CT更好地表征，以探索MR成像的综合解剖和功能能力以及分子PET信息是否为疾病表型和生物学提供了新的见解。减少儿童和育龄妇女等脆弱人群的辐射暴露。以下综述总结了已发表的研究，并介绍了这种新技术的潜在诊断优势。
Various integrated PET/MR imaging systems have recently been developed to provide improved clinical assessments of cancers in tissues that may be anatomically better characterized with MR imaging than with CT, to explore, whether the combined anatomic and functional capabilities of MR imaging together with the molecular PET information provide new insights into disease phenotypes and biology, and to reduce radiation exposure to vulnerable populations such as children and women of child-bearing age. The following review summarizes the published studies and informs about the potential diagnostic advantages of this new technology.
