New hybrid PET/MR systems allow for simultaneous,
sensitive, and quantitative assessments of early bone
activity in osteoarthritis (OA) with PET, which can be
correlated with high-resolution quantitative MR methods
of other tissues to study the pathogenesis of OA We
demonstrate initial results of simultaneous
time-of-flight PET/MR hybrid imaging of the knee OA.
Results suggest that PET/MR may detect knee
abnormalities unseen on MRI alone and is a promising
tool for early detection of OA change in the bone.
