Artifacts and Diagnostic Pitfalls in Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance (PET-MR) is a new hybrid imaging modality that has recently been introduced in clinical practice for oncologic imaging and is increasingly being used in various clinical indications.1-5 PET-MR unifies the complementary capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET in a single imaging modality. Excellent anatomical and morphologic information with high soft tissue resolution and contrast from MRI and the best possible molecular, functional, and physiological information from PET are complementary and have the potential to provide maximum diagnostic information in a single procedure.
