Calibration of MR and PET-MR Imaging Protocols at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) Biomedical Imaging Research Institute (BIRI) Research Imaging Core
This is a protocol to facilitate on-site calibration of the technical aspects of the Siemens
Biograph mMR (molecular MR) Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance (PET-MR) scanner
and the 3T Siemens Vida MR scanner at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (CSMC) Biomedical
Imaging Research Institute (BIRI) Research Imaging Core after scanner installation. The mMR
is a FDA-approved standard clinical device (non-experimental) and will be used in accordance
with clearance and approval from the FDA. The Vida is a state-of-the-art FDA approved scanner
and will be clinically licensed within a short time.

PET-MR Protocol on the Biograph mMR: This protocol requires the use of a radioisotope. To
avoid administering radioisotope solely for the purposes of this calibration, we will recruit
20 patients from the clinical population at the S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center at
CSMC who are already receiving an isotope dose for their standard-of-care examination and are
willing to be scanned at the Research Imaging Core on the same day right after their clinical
exam. Subjects who are having a PET-MR after receiving FDG will have the same body part
scanned as they did for clinical testing.
MR-only Protocol on the Biograph mMR:To set up MR-only protocols, we will enroll 20
volunteers for MR-only on the mMR scanner. This is a standard MR scan with no isotope
involved. Those volunteers who are participating in the MR-only scan will have major body
parts and organs scanned as needed for calibration.
MR imaging on the Siemens Vida 3T scanner: applications training is taking place and we will
build clinical protocols in the future
