An artefact of PET attenuation correction caused by iron overload of the liver in clinical PET-MRI

Abstract Background Attenuation correction is one of the most important steps in producing quantitative PET image data. In hybrid PET-MRI systems, this correction is far from trivial, as MRI data are not correlated to PET attenuation properties of the scanned object. Commercially available systems o...
