PET Clin. 2016 Apr;11(2):119-28. doi: 10.1016/j.cpet.2015.10.003. Epub 2016 Jan 26.

Abstract

PET-MR imaging is an exciting field of research for imaging chemists that allows for innovative approaches such as the use of cocktails of agents or bimodal contrast. In this review, we provide an overview of some of the work in the in preclinical and clinical PET-MR imaging to date, and discuss limitations in the design and applications of these materials.

Keywords: Bimodal imaging agents; Contrast agents; Imaging agents; PET-MR imaging.
