“…A recent report shows a high degree of correlation between glucose metabolism, diffusion restriction, and histopathological features of aggressive tumors . There is also evidence that PET/MRI may offer benefit in the challenging situation of evaluating a patient with cancer of unknown primary, with a recent study demonstrating increased conspicuity of previously undiagnosed head and neck primary tumors at PET/MRI compared with PET/CT …”

“…53 There is also evidence that PET/MRI may offer benefit in the challenging situation of evaluating a patient with cancer of unknown primary, with a recent study demonstrating increased conspicuity of previously undiagnosed head and neck primary tumors at PET/MRI compared with PET/CT. 54 Thoracic Imaging of lung tissue is difficult using MRI due to low proton density, rapid loss of signal secondary to field inhomogeneity, and lung motion during the respiratory cycle. While not ideal for imaging of the lung parenchyma itself, PET/MRI has shown promise in both the characterization of primary bronchogenic tumors as well as the determination of their extent and metastases.…”

Simultaneous positron emission tomography and MRI (PET/MRI) is a technology that combines the anatomic and quantitative strengths of MR imaging with physiologic information obtained from PET. PET and computed tomography (PET/ CT) performed in a single scanning session is an established technology already in widespread and accepted use worldwide. Given the higher cost and complexity of operating and interpreting the studies obtained on a PET/MRI system, there has been question as to which patients would benefit most from imaging with PET/MRI versus PET/CT. In this article, we compare PET/MRI with PET/CT, detail the applications for which PET/MRI has shown promise and discuss impediments to future adoption. It is our hope that future work will prove the benefit of PET/MRI to specific groups of patients, initially those in which PET/CT and MRI are already performed, leveraging simultaneity and allowing for greater degrees of multiparametric evaluation.

ZusammenfassungDie Positronenemissionstomografie/Magnetresonanztomografie (PET/MR) ist ein neues Hybridverfahren. Mit integrierten Hybridsystemen ist es möglich, funktionelle PET-Daten und morphologische und funktionelle MR-Daten gleichzeitig zu messen. Daher ergeben sich im Vergleich zu anderen Schnittbildverfahren deutliche Unterschiede, die insbesondere in der onkologischen Bildgebung zu beachten sind.

“…However, despite this, PET/MRI examination has high application value in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors, especially for soft-tissue tumors. [42] When whole-body PET/MRI scan is used as a means of imaging fusion technology, it integrates functional imaging and cellular biological metabolism imaging and has great research potential for tumor biological characteristics and targeted therapy, tumor angiogenesis, and tumor tissue metabolism. With the development of an integrative system and improved attenuation correction technique, PET/MRI, as a kind of multimodality molecular imaging technology, has the potential to initiate a future revolution in tumor diagnosis and treatment.…”

Objective:The arrival of precision medicine plan brings new opportunities and challenges for patients undergoing precision diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. With the development of medical imaging, information on different modality imaging can be integrated and comprehensively analyzed by imaging fusion system. This review aimed to update the application of multimodality imaging fusion technology in the precise diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors under the precision medicine plan. We introduced several multimodality imaging fusion technologies and their application to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors in clinical practice.Date Sources:The data cited in this review were obtained mainly from the PubMed database from 1996 to 2016, using the keywords of “precision medicine”, “fusion imaging”, “multimodality”, and “tumor diagnosis and treatment”.Study Selection:Original articles, clinical practice, reviews, and other relevant literatures published in English were reviewed. Papers focusing on precision medicine, fusion imaging, multimodality, and tumor diagnosis and treatment were selected. Duplicated papers were excluded.Results:Multimodality imaging fusion technology plays an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment under the precision medicine plan, such as accurate location, qualitative diagnosis, tumor staging, treatment plan design, and real-time intraoperative monitoring. Multimodality imaging fusion systems could provide more imaging information of tumors from different dimensions and angles, thereby offing strong technical support for the implementation of precision oncology.Conclusion:Under the precision medicine plan, personalized treatment of tumors is a distinct possibility. We believe that multimodality imaging fusion technology will find an increasingly wide application in clinical practice.
