Coronary Artery PET/MR Imaging: Feasibility, Limitations, and Solutions

Conclusions
The authors provide the first demonstration of successful, low-radiation (7.2 mSv) PET/MR imaging of inflammation and microcalcification activity in the coronary arteries. However, this requires specialized approaches tailored to coronary imaging for both attenuation correction and PET reconstruction.
