PET and MRI preclinical imaging systems can now be operated simultaneously for the first time by researchers. The simultaneous acquisition of PET and MRI data allows faster workflow as well as results from two different imaging modalities during the same timeframe, for more accurate comparative results.
Simultaneous PET/MRI imaging will be of major benefit to scientists undertaking cardiovascular, neurobiology and cancer research. Imaging resolution results are <0.8mm. Improved image registration and fusion facilitates more accurate anatomical localization of PET findings and allows researchers to view rapidly changing physiological and pathological processes. As workflow is faster across the combined imaging modalities radiation is significantly reduced. MRS Solutions
