AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
In the last few years, technological advances in MR imaging, PET detectors, and attenuation correction algorithms have allowed the creation of truly integrated PET/MR imaging systems, for both clinical and research applications. These machines allow a comprehensive investigation of cardiovascular diseases, by offering a wide variety of detailed anatomical and functional data in combination. Despite significant pathophysiologic mechanisms being clarified by this new data, its clinical relevance and prognostic significance have not been demonstrated yet.

Detection and quantification of small and low-uptake lesions for differentiated thyroid carcinoma using non-time-of-flight iodine-124 PET/MRI.

High-Field and Hybrid MR Imaging, University Hospital Essen, University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- 124-iodine (I) is essential for PET diagnostics and therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), but detecting small lesions (<10 mm) poses significant challenges due to low iodine uptake.
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of non-time-of-flight (TOF) PET/MRI in identifying and quantifying small DTC lymph node lesions under difficult imaging conditions.
- Results indicated that longer acquisition times, higher activity concentrations, and advanced reconstruction algorithms improved lesion visibility, with the smallest detectable size of 3.7 mm only visible under optimal settings.

Background: The hybrid imaging positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) is an important tool in the management of pediatric oncology patients, particularly in malignant musculoskeletal pathologies, because it combines the functional and metabolic information of tumor provided by PET with the high soft-tissue contrast and the functional information offered by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: We performed an observational retrospective study that included pediatric patients diagnosed with primary bone or soft-tissue sarcomas in the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Unit at the HM Montepríncipe University Hospital, Boadilla del Monte, Madrid (Spain) who underwent whole-body F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) PET/MRI as a staging study and for follow-up evaluation for treatment response from September 2017 to January 2023. This study explores the protocols, the practical application of the PET/MRI technique and our clinical experience at our center in the diagnosis and follow-up of primary bone tumors and soft-tissue sarcomas in children.

In preclinical research, in vivo imaging of mice and rats is more common than any other animal species, since their physiopathology is very well- known and many genetically altered disease models exist. Animal studies based on small rodents are usually performed using dedicated preclinical imaging systems with high spatial resolution. For studies that require animal models such as mini- pigs or New-Zealand White (NZW) rabbits, imaging systems with larger bore sizes are required.

Article Synopsis
- - Hybrid imaging combines two or more imaging techniques to enhance image quality and information, particularly in cardiovascular applications.
- - This imaging can involve either merging images from separate scanners or using advanced hybrid machines like PET/CT and PET/MR.
- - The European associations aim to assess clinical scenarios that could benefit from this technology and suggest best practices for obtaining diagnostic images.
