Simultaneous PET-MR imaging brings new perspectives for understanding many aspects of brain function. To achieve PET-MR’s full potential, accurate brain attenuation correction (AC) is required for absolute PET quantification. In PET-MR scanners, radiodensity maps are not directly available unlike in PET/CT, and the attenuation map has to be derived from the MR data (MRAC methods). In this thesis, I have developed a multi-atlas procedure that produces a subject-specific µ-map for brain imaging (MaxProb) via multiple registrations of CT-MR atlas pairs to an MR target. The solution proposed only requires a T1-weighted MRI of the subject, commonly acquired in clinical and research protocols, and a CT-MR atlas database. The MaxProb method permit...
