Research indicates combining PET and MRI biomarkers of
Alzheimer's disease will provide better stratification
of patients with suspected dementia for clinical
diagnosis and monitoring of experimental therapies.
Integrated PET-MRI is ideally positioned to provide this
information simultaneously, but PET-MRI radiotracer
quantification is not trivial and its accuracy not
established. We report direct comparison of MRI- to
CT-based attenuation correction methods in the same
patients with suspected dementia.
