Abstract

Initial clinical research comparing the diagnostic performance of PET/MRI and PET/CT has largely shown equivalent diagnostic capabilities for these modalities in oncology. These uncertainties about the magnitude of diagnostic benefit are compounded by the considerable health economic challenges associated with clinical implementation. Therefore, there is a need to identify ways to extend the use of this technology beyond simple diagnosis so that PET/MRI can add sufficient clinical value beyond PET/CT or MRI alone and become a cost-effective imaging modality in clinical practice. A major advantage of PET/MRI over other imaging modalities is the ability to generate multiple quantitative images from a single examination. This article describes how a multiparametric PET/MRI approach not only can add clinical value through contributing to precision medicine but also can establish PET/MRI as a potentially cost-effective imaging modality in oncology.
