Attenuation Correction for Flexible Magnetic Resonance Coils in Combined Magnetic Resonance/Positron Emission Tomography Imaging

Abstract

We presented and validated an accurate method to localize and register a CT-based attenuation map to correct for the attenuation and scatter of flexible MR coils. This method may be translated to clinical use to produce quantitatively accurate measurements with the use of flexible MR coils during MR/PET imaging.
