The first human study of add-on PET: A PET-integrated RF coil for 3 T MRI
The simultaneous PET and MRI images were performed without noticeable artifacts. There was no significant interference in PET images caused by the simultaneous MRI sequence; however, some background noise was observed in the MRI, likely due to the electric current from PET modules used for counting a clinically used radioactivity concentration.
