Abstract
Described herein is a method to measure the position of the PET System using the MRI, through the use of MRI coils and fiducials. This approach offers a route to automated calibration which is more flexible than other approaches. This method of position measurement is useful for example in systems which have moving or removeable PET readout board systems or moving or removeable PET scintillator blocks.
