Synopsis

Keywords:

Motivation: Even though PET-MR has been around for more than a decade, it is not highly available in all imaging centers due to high cost and complexity. Thus, seeking experience in setting up PET-MR protocols is challenging and can be quite daunting for first-timers and scans involving new tracers.

Goal(s): To create an informative checklist which can ease planning a PET-MR protocol based on clinical experience and from literature review. This aim to overcome pitfalls and include considerations in setting up PET-MR protocols.

Approach: Systematic planning of PET-MR protocol.

Results: PET-MR radiographers and researchers will be able to plan their protocols efficiently and effectively.

Impact: This informative checklist can assist planning a PET-MR protocol on scanner from scratch. Using this guide, the PET-MR radiographers and researchers will become more confident and efficient in planning the PET-MR scanning protocols. This can also boost data-sharing among others.
