2 PET/CT-MR Experiments and Clinical Evaluations Clinical workflow considerations Clinical Validation of PET/MR vs. PET/CT in various body regions => Replacement potential of PET/CT by PET/MR is PET/MR superior to PET/CT? for which disease is this the case? for which tracers is this the case? Dokumentenname Datum Seite 1
3 Overview of options (Definitions: separate vs. sequential vs. simultaneous*) 1. Separate systems two independent systems, patient down-/uploaded on separate system tables, connection of data through software fusion 2. Sequential systems systems are separate, but connected with a shuttle all current PET/CTs and SPECT/CTs - single room: Philips PET-MR - two room: GEHC PET/CT+MR 3. Simultaneous systems Siemens fully integrated PET/MR APD-based GE Healthcare fully integrated PET/MR, SiPM-based * von Schulthess, GK, Burger C, Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging May;37(5): Dokumentenname Datum Seite 2

Additional trial with three sequences (T1, T2 propeller lung, cor STIR) patients with various oncological diseases 4. Detectability, localization, lesion size and conspicuity (qualitative score 1 (< 25% outline detectable) up to score 4 (>75% outline detectable)) were compared PET-positive lesions were evaluated (abdominal, thoracic and neck lesions).

T1 GRE (LAVA flex), balanced gradient echo (FIESTA), ultra fast spin echo (SSFSE) 3. Standard PET/CT with average 336 MBq 18F-FDG 4.

35 Conclusions Clinical 1. Clinically, PET-MR does measure up to PET/CT 2. High quality anatomic referencing in the entire body incl. chest! 3. Possible advantages: Head and Neck cancer, RT-planning, abdominal/pelvic tumors (poss. no contrast needed), prostate cancer, lymphoma, patient comfort. 4. PET/CT-MRI or PET/MRI can be used as one-stop-shop imaging in cases where CT cannot provide adequate T-stage Dokumentenname Datum Seite 34
36 Conclusions Clinical 5. Sequences still need to be adapted and need to be faster for whole-body overview in acceptable time. 6. Lung imaging: techniques are on the way but the way is still very long Tri-modality PET/CT+MR is able to deal with all these issues and generate the comparative data of PET/CT and PET/MRI.
