Quantification of FDG in the spinal cord using PET/MRI
Ignoring bone during image reconstruction in PET/MRI reduces the activity measured during quantification of the spinal cord; however, the partial volume effect has a greater impact on reducing measured uptake in lower-resolution data. While time-of-flight correction goes somewhat resolves these quantification errors, further research is needed into partial volume correction.
