Abstract

The first fully integrated combined positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scanners have been undergoing clinical testing since 2010. Due to the increased soft tissue contrast of MRI advantages of this technology are anticipated in body regions where MRI is known to be superior to computed tomography (CT), such as in the upper abdomen (liver, pancreas) and the pelvis. Improvements are to be expected in the diagnosis of hepatic metastases, regarding M-staging and relapse of colorectal cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. However, the definitive clinical value of PET/MRI now remains to be evaluated in clinical trials.
