Abstract:
The hybrid PET/MR has a unique advantage of simultaneous scanning of both PET and MRI images,which has been gradually applied in clinical practice.In the clinical studies of severe brain diseases (such as cerebrovascular disease,brain tumor and epilepsy),accurate quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) can help to understand the etiology,pathogenesis,and to make early diagnosis as well as therapeutic solutions.The hybrid PET/MR can implement a noninvasive,convenient and accurate method of arterial input function for quantification of CBF.The application of the hybrid PET/MR in quantification of cerebral blood flow were reviewed in this article.
