A patient is given the choice between MRI and PET to diagnose their heart condition. Briefly describe how each imaging modality is used. Compare each imaging technique by identifying their advantages and disadvantages. Is it possible to improve the diagnostic information (better resolution, more information, etc.) that can be gathered from either of these modalities?
