Cross Cutting & Emerging Technologies Part 3:
Clinical PET/MRI: Workflow Considerations
by Marius E. Mayerhoefer

  • Objectives: In this presentation, we compare the work-flows of two clinical research institutions that are equipped with the same PET/MRI scanner model (a fully-integrated, simultaneous device): the Technical University of Munich (scanner installation: November 2010), and the Medical University of Vienna (scanner installation: December 2013). Oncologic imaging, neuroimaging and cardiac imaging are performed at both sites. With regard to oncologic imaging, prostate cancer represents a main research focus at both sites, in accordance with the international trend. In Vienna, lymphoma is another top indication, followed by melanoma, lung cancer, rectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gynecological tumors.
