Abstract EN
Noninvasive imaging of atherosclerosis could potentially move patient management towards individualized triage, treatment, and followup.
The newly introduced combined positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system could emerge as a key player in this context.
Both PET and MRI have previously been used for imaging plaque morphology and function: however, the combination of the two methods may offer new synergistic opportunities.
Here, we will give a short summary of current relevant clinical applications of PET and MRI in the setting of atherosclerosis.
Additionally, our initial experiences with simultaneous PET/MRI for atherosclerosis imaging are presented.
Finally, future potential vascular applications exploiting the unique combination of PET and MRI will be discussed.
