PET/MR is a promising imaging modality for pediatric applications due to its lower radiation dose compared to PET/CT. However, commonly implemented MR-derived Attenuation Correction (MRAC) methods have not been fully evaluated for pediatrics brain applications. Consequently, we aimed at comparing different MRAC methods (Atlas, ZTE and High-resolution ZTE) on pediatric patients. Since the current gold standard AC data (i.e. CT) is missing, the different MRAC methods are ranked in comparison with the results found in the literature to determine if current knowledge regarding MRAC methods applied on adults might be extended to the considered pediatric population.
