SLIDE 6
  • Portable-low-budget, low-field (0.2-1T) animal MR system
  • Can be used in the environment of a nuclear-medicine department
  • Low magnetic field strength = less interference with PET-unit
  • Application of multimodal (PET-MR) contrast agents
  • Open Question:

How to combine this system efficiently with a PET-unit???
