Abstract:
Single nuclear medicine functional imaging (including SPECT and PET) couldn't fully meet the demand of clinical diagnosis because of its own limits, thus the multimodality imaging equipment integrated anatomical and functional images has became the development trend of the nuclear medicine and even the entire medical imaging. Following the earliest SPECT-CT and PET-CT which having been widely used in clinic, the newest PET-MR has also been applied to clinical practice. PET-MR combined MR images with PET function image is substantial to the clinical diagnosis of cerebral nervous system diseases, cardiovascular system diseases and tumor, etc. In this paper, we reviewed the current application situation and prospects of PET-MR in cerebral nervous system diseases.
