In the featured article of the latest volume of Medical Physics, researchers of the Gordon Center have presented a complete data acquisition and processing framework for respiratory motion compensated image reconstruction (MCIR) using simultaneous whole body PET/magnetic resonance (MR) and validated it through simulation and clinical patient studies.
By developing and validating a PET/MR pulmonary imaging framework, the authors show that simultaneous PET/MR, unique in its capability of combining structural information from MR with functional information from PET, shows promise in pulmonary imaging.
