With the introduction of clinical PET/magnetic resonance (MR) systems, novel attenuation correction methods are needed, as there are no direct MR methods to measure the attenuation of the objects in the field of view (FOV). A unique challenge for PET/MR attenuation correction is that coils for MR data acquisition are located in the FOV of the PET camera and could induce significant quantitative errors. In this review, current methods and techniques to correct for the attenuation of a variety of coils are summarized and evaluated.
