Abstract
Objective: This paper reviews the current status and future development of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) co-imaging technology in the field of cardiovascular diseases.
Material and methods: By combining PET and MRI, PET/MR co-imaging provides comprehensive assessment advantages by simultaneously offering functional and anatomical information.
Results: Firstly, the basic principles of PET/MR are introduced, and the current state is discussed. Subsequently, a detailed discussion on the application of PET/MR in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, including early detection and comprehensive assessment of conditions like coronary artery disease and myocarditis, is presented. Finally, the challenges and future prospects in PET/MR applications are outlined.
Conclusion: Despite facing several technical challenges, PET/MR co-imaging technology is expected to play a crucial role in the early diagnosis, treatment, and research of cardiovascular diseases, paving the way for new directions and possibilities in future medical imaging research.
期刊介绍:
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
