Simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in small animals would enable entirely new approaches to drug development and yield to a better functional understanding of living organisms. However, preclinical systems that allow truly simultaneous PET and MRI are not yet commercially available. We present the integration of an optimized microPET camera with ultra-high magnetic field strength MRI.
