Figure 6
Axial-view images of a patient using a combined PET/MR scanner. The upper rows show PET images of FDG activity corresponding to glucose metabolism. The middle rows show MR images acquired using a T1-weighted, fat saturation sequence. The lower rows show the fused images. The PET images show elevated FDG uptake indicating cancer in (a), the tongue base and (b) the epiglottis.
