The recent development of the world's first prototype combined MR-PET scanner for human use has prompted immense interest. MR-PET is likely to revolutionize clinical diagnosis and basic research, by providing exquisite structural images co-registered with simultaneous functional PET images. We will exploit the as yet unexplored potential for motion information derived from the MR system to be used to correct the simultaneously acquired PET data for patient motion. This research is an excellent opportunity for Australian researchers to make important contributions to an emerging technology with high economic potential, and will strengthen Australia's international position in engineering and biomedical systems development.

世界上第一台用于人类的MR-PET扫描仪的最新发展引起了人们的极大兴趣。MR-PET通过提供与同步功能PET图像共同配准的精致结构图像，可能会彻底改变临床诊断和基础研究。我们将利用尚未开发的潜力，从MR系统获得的运动信息，用于纠正同时采集的PET数据的患者运动。这项研究是澳大利亚研究人员为具有高经济潜力的新兴技术做出重要贡献的绝佳机会，并将加强澳大利亚在工程和生物医学系统开发方面的国际地位。
