摘要
When correcting for attenuation in a positron emission tomography (PET) image, a magnetic resonance (MR) image (24) of a subject is generated with spectroscopic data (38) describing the chemical composition of one or more of the voxels in the MR image. A table lookup is performed to identify a tissue type for each voxel based on the MR image data and spectral composition data, and an attenuation value is assigned to each voxel based on its tissue type to generate an MR attenuation correction (MRAC) map (30). The MRAC map (30) is used during reconstruction of the nuclear image (37) to correct for attenuation therein. Additionally, attenuation due to MR coils and other accessories that remain in a nuclear imager field of view during a combined MR/nuclear scan is corrected using pre-generated attenuation correction maps that are applied to a nuclear image after executing an MR scan to identify anatomical landmarks, which are used to align the pre- generated attenuation correction maps to the patient.
