Evaluation of zero-echo-time attenuation correction for integrated PET/MR brain imaging—comparison to head atlas and 68Ge-transmission-based attenuation correction

Evaluation of zero-echo-time attenuation correction for integrated PET/MR brain imaging—comparison to head atlas and 68Ge-transmission-based attenuation correction

Abstract Background MRI does not offer a direct method to obtain attenuation correction maps as its predecessors (stand-alone PET and PET/CT), and bone visualisation is particularly challenging. Recently, zero-echo-time (ZTE) was suggested for MR-based attenuation correction (AC). The aim of this wo...
