Accurate hybrid template–based and MR-based attenuation correction using UTE images for simultaneous PET/MR brain imaging applications

Abstract Background Attenuation correction is one of the most crucial correction factors for accurate PET data quantitation in hybrid PET/MR scanners, and computing accurate attenuation coefficient maps from MR brain acquisitions is challenging. Here, we develop a method for accurate bone and air se...
