PET/MRI – IS IT TIME FOR ITS RULE?

Maseeh uz Zaman, Nosheen Fatima, Unaiza Zaman, Areeba Zaman, Sidra Zaman

Abstract


PET/MRI being an FDA approved hybrid imaging modality has significantly higher soft tissue characterization and simultaneous image acquisition gives near-perfect image coregistration as well. Since MRI is considered as standard of care in workup of abdominopelvic oncologic malignancies, addition of PET based metabolic information will definitely enhance the accuracy in staging, restaging and response assessment. Since PET/MRI enables more appropriate management than PET/CT in abdominopelvic malignancies, a histology-based triage of patients to either PET/MRI or PET/CT may be meaningful.
