Multimodality medical imaging can synergistically and cost-effectively augment the value of imaging procedures both in research and clinic by providing complementary and more complete information on disease mechanisms, diagnosis, disease staging and efficacy of existing and novel treatments leading to better outcomes and savings in patient management, especially in cancer, brain illness and heart disease. An excellent example of such synergy is the tremendous impact that combined Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and x-ray computerized tomography (CT) has had in oncology. Compared to modern magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, CT delivers additional radiation dose and is relatively limited in the breadth of achievable information. Recent advances in instrumentation and MR imaging techniques make simultaneous (hybrid) PET and MR very powerful. Given its potential, it is expected that hybrid PET/MR will become the hybrid imaging modality of choice for most clinical and research applications in oncology, neurology and cardiology.

多模态医学成像可以协同和成本有效地增加成像程序在研究和临床中的价值，通过提供关于疾病机制、诊断、疾病分期以及现有和新型治疗的疗效的补充和更完整的信息，从而在患者管理中获得更好的结果和节省，特别是在癌症、脑部疾病和心脏病中。这种协同作用的一个很好的例子是正电子发射断层扫描（PET）和X射线计算机断层扫描（CT）在肿瘤学中的巨大影响。与现代磁共振（MR）成像相比，CT提供额外的辐射剂量，并且在可获得的信息的广度方面相对有限。仪器和MR成像技术的最新进展使同步（混合）PET和MR非常强大。鉴于其潜力，预计混合PET/MR将成为肿瘤学、神经病学和心脏病学中大多数临床和研究应用的首选混合成像模式。
