Comparative research progress of simultaneous PET/MR and PET/CT for clinical application in oncology / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

ABSTRACT

PET/MR has been clinically applied in 2010 as an emerging and promising multimodal molecular imaging technology. This review includes 33 comparative studies on PET/MR and PET/CT since January 1, 2016, and the results of 15 literatures show that the diagnostic efficacy of PET/MR is better than that of PET/CT (including diagnostic accuracy and TNM staging). Only 11 articles have reported enhanced PET/MR, so the advantages of PET/MR can not be fully reflected.
