An example of psoriatic arteritis imaged with simultaneous [¹⁸F]FDG-PET/MRI: a MRI, b fused PET and MR, and c PET.

Current recommended applications of PET/MRI in paediatric oncology. Note that separate chest CT (all indications) may be omitted if MRI clearly demonstrates pulmonary manifestations and if allowed by protocol (*if required by protocol or in the case of inconclusive MRI).

The IEC 61675–1 standard body-phantom: a For imaging, the phantom can be filled with fluid and tracer. Examples of inhomogeneous MR excitation in water (b) and inhomogeneous PET-tracer distribution in oil-based substances (c) in the described phantom are shown in the images on the right.

Illustration of the concept of multi-parametric imaging providing multiple layers of information that can be combined (or extracted) into probability maps (based on machine learning), image-based representations of selected information or other information. sFCM spatially constrained fuzzy c-means, SVM support vector machine (with support of Dr. Gatidis, Tübingen).
