What Is the Difference Between an MRI and PET Scan?

PET-MRI is a new technology that combines the molecular imaging capabilities of PET (Positron Emission Computer Tomography) with the superior soft tissue contrast capabilities of MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging). It can image diseased cells that spread in soft tissue. It enables patients to scan in various modes, and the system can collect PET and MR images separately. Compared with other methods, PET / MRI examination has high sensitivity and accuracy, and it has the value of early detection and early diagnosis for many diseases (especially tumors and the most common heart and brain diseases).
