Abstract
The possibility of artifacts that can arise from simultaneous positron emission tomography (PET) and medical resonance (MR) imaging was assessed using a small prototype MR compatible PET (McPET) scanner. Biological and a T2-weighted spin echo sequence were used to examine susceptibility artifacts due to the McPET's components in the MR field of view. A uniform disk-shaped phantom was imaged using T1-weighted spin echo sequence with the PET electronics switched on and off to determine the electromagnetic interference effects. A range of MR pulse sequences demonstrate a possibility to obtain artifact free PET and MR images with McPET.
