Clinical issues regarding misclassification by Dixon based PET/MR attenuation correction.

CONCLUSION: Because no corrective method has been devised after a scan, we recommend that Dixon images with μ-maps should be checked before interpreting PET/MR images and emphasize the importance of hydration, pre-examination. Misclassification errors do not change the presence of (18)F-FDG uptake but can have significant impacts on PET quantification in affected bed positions. PMID: 25840572 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
