title: Potential Clinical Applications of PET/Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
abstract: Hybrid PET/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which combines the excellent anatomic information and functional MR imaging parameters with the metabolic and molecular information obtained with PET, may be superior to PET/computed tomography or MR imaging alone for a wide range of disease conditions. This review highlights potential clinical applications in neurologic, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal disease conditions, with special attention to applications in oncologic imaging.
