Abstract
Recent progresses on new imaging and system developments, especially on the brain dedicated PET-MRI, using high resolution HRRT-PET and ultra-high field 7.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their applications to basic and clinical neuroradiology will be discussed. With high field MRI, such as the 7.0 T MRI, one can now visualize the subfields of the hippocampus and brainstem in vivo as well as tractography hitherto unable to do with existing MRI systems. Together with molecular imaging using positron emission tomography (PET), now, it is possible to visualize metabolic functional changes quantitatively in human brain.
