Since their introduction to medicine, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) have greatly contributed to medical research and clinical practice. In particular, brain imaging with MRI and PET scans has led to important insights into both the normal and diseased brain. With increasingly advanced technology, scanning techniques, and clinical applications, brain imaging is a continuously evolving field.

I thought some of the researchers out there would be interested in this free special web focus which contains the leading papers that leverage PET and MRI. Presented by the Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, it is a compilation of many of the most important research papers on the techniques and applications of cerebral MRI and PET imaging.
