MULTI-PARAMETRIC PET-MR IMAGING AND MULTI-MODALITY JOINT IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION

摘要

A method of acquiring PET and MR images simultaneously includes obtaining raw k-space data for continuous MR volumes and acquiring PET information. The method further includes performing a joint multi-modality image reconstruction and generating a set of PET and MR images. The method additionally includes generating a set of MR fingerprints from the reconstructed MR images and using the MR fingerprints to generate a set of parameter maps.
