    Abstract: The application discloses a method for estimating a pseudo CT Hounsfield Unit value for a volume element within a subject from a plurality of magnetic resonance images having different contrasts. The method comprising the steps of: determination of a relative prevalence of a first tissue class and second tissue class within the volume element from a first magnetic resonance image and second magnetic resonance image respectively. Then a a relative prevalence of a third tissue class is determined within the volume element based on substraction of a relative prevalence of the first and/or second tissue class from a total tissue prevalence. A reference Hounsfield Unit value is provided for the first, second and third tissue class. Finally, a pseudo Housfield value is estimated for the volume element by determining a weighted sum of the first, second and third reference Hounsfield unit value, with weight factors which are based on the determined relative prevalences of the first, second and third tissue class.

    Abstract: A combined PET/MR system includes an MR subsystem including a main field magnet (14) which generates a stationary magnetic field through an examination region (16), a gradient magnetic field system (18, 20, 22, 24) which applies magnetic field gradients across the examination region, and an RF system (26, 28, 32, 34, 36, 38) that applies RF excitation pulses to excite resonance in a subject in the examination region and receive magnetic resonance signals from the subject. A PET detector module (70) which is permanently or removably fixed in the examination region (16) to detect radiation from radiopharmaceuticals injected into the subject causes distortions in the magnetic field gradients. A plurality of probes (90) which are mounted in a fixed relationship to the PET detector module (70) measure magnetic field strength. A gradient magnetic field distortion correction system (110) determines distortions caused in the gradient magnetic fields and corrects the magnetic resonance signals accordingly. The PET detector module includes a plurality of RF shielded detector units (132) which are mounted in a circumferentially spaced relationship with a gap (136) therebetween through which RF excitation pulses and magnetic resonance signals pass.
