Comparison of 18F-FDG uptake of primary invasive breast cancer quantified using simultaneous, time-of-flight breast PET/MRI and prone PET/CT

Conclusions: Quantitative assessment of 18F-FDG uptake of primary invasive breast carcinoma is feasible using simultaneous breast PET/MRI. Despite differing PET detector technology, attenuation correction methodology, and uptake time, there was acceptable reliability and agreement between tumor 18F-FDG uptake using breast PET/MRI and PET/CT.
