The use of integrated PET/MRI systems in clinical applications can best benefit from understanding their technological advances and limitations. The currently available clinical PET/MRI systems have their own characteristics. Thorough analyses of existing technical data and evaluation of necessary performance metrics for quality assurances could be conducted to optimize application‐specific PET/MRI protocols. This Symposium will focus on technical advances and limitations of clinical PET/MRI systems, and how this exciting imaging modality can be utilized in applications that can benefit from both PET and MRI. Learning Objectives: 1. To understand the technological advances of clinical PET/MRI systems 2. To correctly identify clinical applications that can benefit from PET/MRI 3. To understand ongoing work to further improve the current PET/MRI technologyFloris Jansen is a GE Healthcare employee.
