<scp>FDG</scp>‐<scp>PET</scp>/<scp>MRI</scp> imaging for the management of alveolar echinococcosis: initial clinical experience at a reference centre in Austria

Abstract

PET/MRI provides comparable diagnostic information for AE management. The reduction in radiation exposure compared to PET/CT may be of particular importance for children and young patients not amenable for curative surgery requiring repeated long-term follow-up with dual imaging modalities. Further studies are warranted to prospectively evaluate the potential of PET/MRI in the management of AE.
