Course description
This course will introduce the use of simultaneous MR-PET for clinical applications. The potential hardware including the physical structure of magnet, gradients and RF coils, as well as PET ring construction and integration into a combined MR-PET system will be examined. General workflow considerations will be introduced to enable simultaneous acquisition of MRI and PET images. The potential and challenges of combined MR-PET systems will be reviewed.
