Multimodality fusion imaging in abdominal and pelvic malignancies: current applications and future perspectives

摘要: Medicine is evolving toward personalized care and this development entails the integration, amalgamation, synchronized analysis of data from multiple sources. Multimodality fusion imaging refers to simultaneous visualization spatially aligned juxtaposed medical images obtained by two or more image modalities. PET/MRI scanners MMFI platforms are able improve diagnostic workflow in oncologic patients provide exquisite that aid physicians molecular profiling characterization tissues. Advanced navigation involving real-time ultrasound promising tools for guiding tailored mini-invasive interventional procedures on technically challenging targets. The main objective present essay was describe current applications future perspectives multimodality both purposes field abdominal pelvic malignancies. We also outlined technical differences between achieved means bimodal acquisition (i.e., integrated scanners), retrospective co-registration, ultrafast
