PET examinations

PET examinations

Our laboratory is a unique place where we have located two hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT scanners. Both allow us to perform fully diagnostic MR and CT examinations. Therefore, we have the ability to offer patients full diagnostics in one place, and for scientists to carry out comparative studies. We also invite you to see the range of radiopharmaceuticals used in our laboratory.

PET/MR vs. PET/CT

These two techniques have many things in common and a number of differences at the same time. On our website, we provide you information that will help you choose the method optimally for the patient’s needs. A comparison of these techniques was conducted by a center in Germany, more information in this article or at http://jnm.snmjour1nals.org/content/61/8/1131.

List of the most important publications

We present you a list of publications on the technique of positron emission tomography with magnetic resonance (PET/MR) and computed tomography (PET/CT).

PET/MR publications

Simultaneous PET/MR diagnostic examinations are a very innovative and recently used method. Therefore, most scientific reports are available only in English. Below is a list of the most important publications on PET/MR diagnostic examinations.
