  • Method and apparatus for attenuation correction of emission tomography scan data
    Patent number: 10386441
    Abstract: In a method for attenuation correction of emission tomography scan data acquired from an examination object in a combined magnetic resonance emission tomography apparatus, wherein an interference object is situated in the examination region, which causes a magnetic interference field during combined magnetic resonance emission tomography imaging, magnetic resonance scan data of the examination object are acquired by executing a magnetic resonance sequence designed to at least partially compensate inference due to the magnetic interference field. Emission tomography scan data are acquired and an attenuation map is generated using the acquired magnetic resonance scan data. Attenuation correction of the emission tomography scan data is implemented using the generated attenuation map.
