Hybrid imaging systems have dramatically improved thoracic oncology patient care over the past 2 decades. PET-MR imaging systems have the potential to further improve imaging of thoracic neoplasms, resulting in diagnostic and therapeutic advantages compared with current MR imaging and PET-computed tomography systems. Increasing soft tissue contrast and lesion sensitivity, improved image registration, reduced radiation exposure, and improved patient convenience are immediate clinical advantages. Multiparametric quantitative imaging capabilities of PET-MR imaging have the potential to improve understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer and treatment effects, potentially guiding improvements in diagnosis and therapy.
在过去20年中，混合成像系统极大地改善了胸部肿瘤患者的护理。正电子发射断层扫描-磁共振成像（PET-MR）系统有进一步改善胸部肿瘤成像的潜力，与目前的磁共振成像和PET-计算机断层扫描系统相比，具有诊断和治疗优势。提高软组织对比度和病变敏感性、改善图像配准、减少辐射暴露以及提高患者便利性是直接的临床优势。PET-MR成像的多参数定量成像能力有潜力增进对癌症分子机制和治疗效果的理解，可能为诊断和治疗的改进提供指导。
