This virtual event focused on two aspects of MRI - Whole-body PET and simultaneous MRI and Whole-body MRI. Please see further details on the topics covered below.
Whole-body PET with 18F-FDG forms part of national and international recommendations for staging patients with cancer and monitoring progress after treatment. Contemporary PET/CT protocols consist of vertex to mid-thigh field of view with CT and PET acquired sequentially. Both a low- and high-resolution CT are acquired for attenuation correction and anatomical localisation, respectively. Tumour metabolism information is the displayed in standardised uptake value maps superimposed on to the high-resolution CT images for the purposes of clinical reporting. However, with the development of commercial hybrid PET/MRI scanners some decade or so ago, these PET images can now be married-up with WB-MRI protocols which include diffusion-weighted MRI and Dixon MRI, to provide complementary morphological and tissue structure whole-body imaging for assessment. In this talk we discussed the indications for simultaneous PET/MRI, and describe some protocols and the physical principles of PET with MR attenuation correction maps, and discuss the clinical interpretation of PET/MRI for patients with metastatic disease.
