We present a non-invasive image-based quantification
method for estimating the activity in patients using an
investigational simultaneous TOF PET/MRI scanner.
Patients were injected with 18F-fluormisonidazole, and
the average activity was calculated from the whole blood
samples, and compared to the activity from the PET/MRI
scanner. The average MRI blood-to-blood ratios were 1.16
and 1.18 respectively for the carotid arteries and the
jugular veins. These results suggest that we can do
image-derived blood activity concentration calculation
reproducibility, and potentially avoid invasive blood
sample procedures, by the use of our image derived
quantification method using a hybrid simultaneous TOF
PET/MRI scanner.
