Standard MRI-based attenuation correction for PET/MRI phantoms: a novel concept using MRI-visible polymer

Abstract Background PET/MRI phantom studies are challenged by the need of phantom-specific attenuation templates to account for attenuation properties of the phantom material. We present a PET/MRI phantom built from MRI-visible material for which attenuation correction (AC) can be performed using th...
