Problems solved by technology

Regarding two imaging measurements in MRT, may require reciprocating movement of the table on which the patient lies, thus prolonging the total measurement duration
[0008] Furthermore, the sequence parameters of the two imaging measurements in MRT are often not individually adapted to the patient, in particular to the patient's posture and / or anatomy

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method for providing an attenuation map of a patient, a method for providing corrected PET data of the patient acquired with combined magnetic resonance / positron emission tomography imaging in a magnetic resonance / positron emission tomography system, a computer positron emission tomography facility and an associated computer program product. A methodis for providing an attenuation map of a patient, suitable for correcting PET data of the patient acquired with combined magnetic resonance / positron emission tomography imaging in a magnetic resonance / positron emission tomography system. In an embodiment, the method includes acquiring magnetic resonance data in the magnetic resonance / positron emission tomography system; determining the attenuationmap of the patient using the magnetic resonance data and providing the attenuation map of the patient for correcting the PET data of the patient acquired with combined magnetic resonance / positron emission tomography imaging.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for providing an attenuation map of a patient A method for providing corrected PET data detected in a combined magnetic resonance-positron emission tomography scan of a patient in a magnetic resonance-positron emission tomography facility, a magnetic resonance-positron emission tomography Tomography facility and an associated computer program product. Background technique [0002] Attenuation maps are typically created in combined magnetic resonance-positron emission tomography (MRT-PET imaging) at a magnetic resonance-positron emission tomography facility (MRT-PET facility). MRT-PET typically has a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) and a positron emission tomography (PET). MRT-PET imaging typically includes at least one imaging measurement in MRT (MRT imaging) and at least one imaging measurement in PET (PET imaging). [0003] The attenuation map can be derived on the basis of magnetic resonance data (MR...
