Application advances of PET/MR in neurodegenerative diseases / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

ABSTRACT

Neurodegenerative diseases endanger people's physical and mental health. PET/MR can acquire PET and MR images simultaneously, thus avoid interference of external stimuli and spatial differ-ence in different time, and significantly improve image accuracy. PET/MR displays an important value in the pathogenesis, early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. This article re-views the application value and research progress of PET/MR in important neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease ( AD) and Parkinson's disease ( PD) .
