Positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance
imaging systems (PET/MRI) has been recently developed
for human imaging, harnessing the powers of morphology
and function. Yet, such technology is still in need for
complementary tools, such as, dedicated radiofrequency
resonators. In this work an approach is presented to
optimise a dedicated multi-channels head resonator. The
resonator will be used to acquire simultaneously PET/MRI
images. Aiming to develop objective diagnostic methods
to discriminate unipolar from bipolar using combined
serotonin PET, resting state fMRI and blood oxygenation
level dependent fMRI.
