Medical imaging software developer Mirada Medical is touting studies using its PET/MRI software that will be presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting.
One study, "Initial results on the assessment of PET/MR compared to PET/CT for diagnosis and staging of malignant disease," compared the image quality and quantification accuracy of PET/MRI and PET/CT. Advanced quantification features and deformable registration in Mirada PET/MRI software allowed the quantification of regions of interest simultaneously in both the PET/MRI and PET/CT of the same patient.
In another study, "Image distortions and bias from dental restorations in PET/CT- and PET/MR-imaging," researchers analyzed artifacts arising from dental fillings on image quality and quantification using PET/MRI and PET/CT.
In a third study, "Combined PET/CT/MRI of the pelvis using software registration," a research group investigated the accuracy of Mirada's deformable registration algorithm between CT and MR in the pelvis.
