In the last few years there has been increasing interest in hybrid MR-PET scanners. Several groups have been developing such scanners for the study of rodents. Some of these prototypes utilize innovative solid-state electronics such as APDs as a replacement of magneto-sensitive photomultipliers. First studies demonstrating the advantages of simultaneous MR-PET measurements have already been published. An industrial prototype for combined MR-PET in humans is being constructed and the first acquired images of simultaneous MR-PET measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the new approach.
Satellite workshop of the 2008 IEEE NSS/MIC Symposium
http://www.nss-mic.org/2008/NSSMain.asp
The workshop on MR-PET will offer a platform to present and discuss the present state of both animal and human MR-PET scanners. The ability of MR-PET systems to retain the typical PET attribute of absolute quantitation, new instrumental progress as well as developments towards whole-body MR-PET and the involvement of ultra-high field MR will be addressed. For each topic there will be an invited speaker and a limited number of proffered presentations. The preliminary program comprises six topics:
1. state-of-the-art of small animal MR-PET scanners
2. state-of-the-art of human MR-BrainPET scanners
3. issues of quantitative PET in hybrid imaging
4. improved MR-compatible PET components
5. advantages and challenges of whole-body MR-PET and
6. future MR-PET scanners utilizing ultra-high field.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
