Simultaneous PET-MRI: a new approach for functional and morphological imaging
Martin S. Judenhofer,Hans F. Wehrl,D.F. Newport,Ciprian Catana,Stefan Siegel,Markus Becker,Axel Thielscher,Manfred Kneilling,M. P. Lichy,Martin Eichner,Karin Klingel,Gerald Reischl,Stefan Widmaier,Martin Röcken,Robert E. Nutt,Hans Jürgen Machulla,Kamil Uludag,Simon R. Cherry,Claus D. Claussen,Bernd J. Pichler +19 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces a new technology synergizing two leading imaging methodologies: positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and develops a three-dimensional animal PET scanner that is built into a 7-T MRI.

Performance Test of an LSO-APD Detector in a 7-T MRI Scanner for Simultaneous PET/MRI
Bernd J. Pichler,Martin S. Judenhofer,Martin S. Judenhofer,Ciprian Catana,Jeffrey H. Walton,Manfred Kneilling,Robert E. Nutt,Stefan Siegel,Claus D. Claussen,Simon R. Cherry +9 more
TL;DR: This project focused on combining a high-resolution PET scanner with a 7-T MRI system for animal research, using detector technology based on 10 x 10 lutetium oxyorthosilicate crystal arrays and 3 x 3 avalanche photodiode arrays to create a ring of PET detectors used as an insert for the 119-mm-diameter MRI bore.

Simultaneous Acquisition of Multislice PET and MR Images: Initial Results with a MR-Compatible PET Scanner
TL;DR: The first images from the complete PET scanner based on avalanche photodiode technology have been acquired and reconstructed, demonstrating that simultaneous PET and MRI studies are feasible and opening up interesting possibilities for dual-modality molecular imaging studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Increased brain levels of the translocator protein (TSPO), a marker of glial activation, are shown in patients with chronic low back pain, suggesting that TSPO expression exerts pain-protective/anti-inflammatory effects in humans, as predicted by animal studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Implementing an MRI-Based PET Attenuation-Correction Method for Neurologic Studies on the MR-PET Brain Prototype
Ciprian Catana,Andre van der Kouwe,Thomas Benner,Christian Michel,Michael Hamm,Matthias Fenchel,Bruce Fischl,Bruce R. Rosen,Matthias J. Schmand,A. Gregory Sorensen +9 more
TL;DR: The segmented CT AC method was established as the silver standard for the segmented MRI-based AC method and could be used for quantitative neurologic MR-PET studies.
