Respiratory Motion Correction of Cardiac Combined Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI)

Respiratory Motion Correction of Cardiac Combined Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI)

This study evaluates the possibility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based respiratory motion correction of simultaneously acquired cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18F-FDG injection for clinical diagnostic PET/MRI or PET/CT

Exclusion Criteria:

• Diet-suppressed myocardial uptake of 18F-FDG
• General exclusion criteria for MRI (i.e. metallic implants, claustrophobia, pregnancy, etc.)
• Not willing to be informed about incidental findings
