Synopsis

Keywords: Body: Body, Cross-organ: Cancer

This talk will review synergy between PET and MRI in oncologic imaging, and discuss different options for acquiring this data with focus on integrated PET-MRI scanner. We will briefly discuss protocol optimization and some of the benefits and challenges of PET-MR when compared to PET-CT. Subsequently, we will review current literature and highlight role of PET-MR imaging in evaluation of number of abdominopelvic malignancies such as lymphoma, colorectal malignancy, GYN malignancies, and prostate cancer. We will highlight some novel and potential applications for PET-MRI in oncology.
