Summary
PET/MR is producing challenges in terms of software/hardware
development but also plenty of opportunities.
MR sequences is the key for providing answers to a number of
issues.
Existing approaches previously developed in PET/CT multimodality
imaging may be explored within the PET/MR field.
New software developments are necessary to efficiently explore the
multitude of information that may be available from PET/MR.
Presently available multimodality imaging systems:
PET/CT, SPECT/CT, PET/SPECT, PET/SPECT/CT, PET/MRI,
PET/Optical

Will PET/MRI replace PET/CT?
