- Additional information
- We have previously developed a robust and novel method for simultaneous brain PET-MR attenuation correction (https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6560/aa5f6c). Here, we collaborated in a multicentre, international trial to compare ours with alternative methods. Ours was among the top performers, and so the problem of head attenuation correction in PET-MR is now considered solved for most patient groups. We have since organised workshops to define acceptable metrics for implementation of this technology in other centres, and also made the method publicly available (https://vip.creatis.insa-lyon.fr). The vendor-independent method has been implemented in ≥5 centres worldwide and is the standard method at KCL.
