Radiotracer Dose Reduction in Integrated PET/MR: Implications from National Electrical Manufacturers Association Phantom Studies

Abstract

An approach to reduce the injected radiotracer activity in integrated PET/MR imaging, while maintaining PET IQ, was presented and verified under idealized experimental conditions. This experiment may serve as a basis for further clinical PET/MR studies using reduced radiotracer dose as compared with conventional PET/CT studies.
