Promise of Fully Integrated PET/MRI: Noninvasive Clinical Quantification of Cerebral Glucose Metabolism

Conclusion: By taking advantage of the capabilities of fully integrated PET/MRI, we developed a fully automated computational pipeline that allows the noninvasive determination of regional CMRGlc values in a clinical setting. This methodology might facilitate the proliferation of fully quantitative imaging into the clinical arena and, as a result, might contribute to improved diagnostic efficacy.
