abstract = {Building on the success of positron emission tomography
(PET)/CT scanners, a hybrid imaging technology, combining
PET with the versatile attributes of magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), has been in use for over ten years. At the
Forschungszentrum Jülich, one of the four prototypes
available worldwide, combining a commercial 3T MRI with a
newly developed BrainPET insert, was installed in 2008,
allowing simultaneous data acquisition with PET and MRI.
Here, we report on our ten-year-long experience of the
methods and technology developed through this paper with
numerous patients and volunteers. In the course of our
research, a number of different radiotracers, such as [ 18
F]Fluoroethyltyrosine, [ 11 C]Flumazenil, [ 11 C]Raclopride,
and [ 15 O]H 2 O, have been applied while simultaneously
measuring several different MR sequences. The PET data
obtained with the BrainPET has demonstrated higher image
quality and superior resolution capability compared to the
stand-alone PET scanner, ECAT Exact HR+. Furthermore, the
simultaneous acquisition of MR images alongside BrainPET
scans, using different sequences, showed an excellent
quality without any relevant artifacts and provided useful
complementary information. Our experiences with the hybrid
3T MR-BrainPET indicate a promising basis for further
developments of this unique technique, allowing simultaneous
brain imaging in a clinical setting.},
