By providing truly simultaneous spatial and temporal
acquisitions, hybrid PET/MRI using dynamic PET imaging
allows robust comparison of the kinetics of MRI and PET
tracers. In this study, 12 prostate cancer patients
underwent hybrid PET/MRI with simultaneous DCE-MRI and
dynamic PET acquisitions following consecutive
injections of gadolinium-chelate and 18F-FDG. Early
post-injection PET data was reconstructed using
30-second bins, and ROIs were placed on lesions using
fused DCE-MRI/PET images to generate matching
time-activity-curves. Versus gadolinium-chelate, FDG
exhibited significantly later time-to-peak and greater
maximal slope of uptake. Such kinetic differences
between the two agents have not been previously reported
to our knowledge.
