Article Abstract
Purpose: Combined PET/MRI studies receive increasing attention, as their combination allows deeper insight into disease progression. We evaluated a novel 1 T benchtop MRI scanner (1T-MRI) for its use in sequential PET/MRI studies.
Procedures: Phantom studies were performed, addressing the attenuation caused by the MRI coils. For in vivo studies, PET/MRI data acquired with the 1T-MRI were compared with data using a conventional small animal high-field MRI (7T-MRI) in combination with the same PET scanner.
Results: Phantom and in vivo measurements show that the animal beds have no negative impact on the PET scanner performance compared to the 7T-MRI animal bed. Representative images of various animal studies are shown, indicating a wide field for sequential PET-benchtop MRI applications.
Conclusion: Phantom and in vivo data indicate that sequential PET/MRI studies with this novel setup are comparable to sequential PET/MRI studies using a 7T-MRI in combination with a dedicated PET scanner.

Advances in prostate cancer imaging: from detection to post-treatment.

Advancements in prostate imaging, particularly multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), have transformed the diagnosis and monitoring paradigms for prostate cancer (PCa). However, considerable interobserver variability has been reported,emphasizing the importance of standardized scoring and reporting systems. The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS), along with quality assurance protocols such as Prostate Imaging Quality (PI-QUAL), has enhanced the diagnostic accuracy of mpMRI.

Background And Aim: The positive detection rate of MRI in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) patients is low, often failing to make a rapid and accurate localization diagnosis. Both F-DPA714 and F-FDG PET imaging techniques have shown their advantages in the diagnosis of AIE. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a head-to-head comparison of the diagnostic value between F-DPA714 and F-FDG PET in patients with AIE.

Background: The combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel is the standard chemotherapy for treatment of high-risk and recurrent endometrial cancer. Evaluation of treatment response by diagnostic imaging is routinely carried out months after start of treatment, and is based on changes in tumor size or appearance of new metastases. The aim of this study was to evaluate early chemotherapeutic response in two subcutaneous endometrial cancer mouse models generated from patient-derived organoids using static- and dynamic [F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

F-Florbetaben (FBB) uptake in the supratentorial cortex is indicative of amyloid positivity. Due to PET's low spatial resolution, image noise, and spill-over of signal from adjacent white-matter into gray-matter, trained readers may provide inconsistent reads and quantitative calculations like Centiloids (CLs) are also affected. A set of 264 F-Florbetaben (amyloid) PET/MRI exams were reconstructed using conventional ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) method and MR-guided block sequential regularized expectation maximization (MRgBSREM) method.

We report a case of a 33-year-old man with epilepsy and equivocal EEG, MRI signs of mesiotemporal sclerosis, and nondiagnostic standard FDG-PET imaging. The patient underwent repeat FDG-PET/MRI to clarify the sidedness of the epileptogenic focus and to confirm the suspected MTS. The standard PET reconstruction using block sequential regularized expectation maximization failed to provide evidence of a clear epileptogenic focus.
