C11 choline was only approved by the FDA for use at Mayo in Rochester. Where was this study done that compares C11 MRI versus PET scans? Thanks. Also, is the full study you referenced available online?
This study was done at the Technical University Munich in Germany. It may be cost prohibitive from a practical standpoint: “Nevertheless, the expense of PET/MR demands a high bar for clinical utility. “It has to be looked at on a more global population scale to see whether the overall benefit is worthwhile for medical centers to adopt that technology,” said Dr. Kwee. He noted that most major medical centers have both PET and MRI scanners, and doing consecutive scans can often provide the same information, albeit with potential imaging artifacts because of position changes between scans.”
