Excerpt

Hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) have been widely used in the clinical setting. More recently, PET and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been introduced and clinically used in several centers world-wide. The integrated PET/MRI system should include special photodetectors insensitive to the magnetic field. For this purpose, either avalanche photodiodes or silicon photomultiplier technology has been used for PET signal detections. Such special requirements have also increased the cost compared to PET/CT. …
