A killer application? Recently, fully integrated full‐body positron‐emission tomography (PET) and magnetic‐resonance imaging (MRI) scanners were brought to market, allowing simultaneous recording of complementary 3D data sets. By using bimodal PET/MRI probes (see figure), in vivo 3D mapping of various parameters with medical relevance could become feasible.
