PET/MR imaging of pelvic malignancies.

Integrated PET/MRI is a new technology which allows simultaneous acquisition of positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging data during one examination. The technique appears to be particularly appropriate for oncologic imaging of female and male pelvic malignancies, as these entities demand a high soft tissue contrast and might be further assessed metabolically with PET. The review article highlights recent developments of integrated PET/MRI in pelvic malignancies.
