Distinguishing malignant from benign pulmonary lesions is critical. In the study, 18F-FDG PET/MRI were used to obtain metabolic parameters and IVIM diffusion parameters for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung lesions. Our results showed that multiparametric PET/MRI is helpful in the differentiation of pulmonary lesions. 18 FDG hybrid PET-MRI enables a robust differentiation of malignant and benign pulmonary lesions when several IVIM parameters and PET parameters are combined. Thus, PET-MRI may reduce some unnecessary lung biopsies.
