Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The current attenuation correction method for human pelvic PET/MRI contains several problems such that the attenuation due to bone is not considered and a specific MR imaging, intended for attenuation correction only, is needed. In this study, we proposed a method to generate the distribution of attenuation correction factors with considering the bone attenuation using diagnostic T1-weighted MRI for pelvic PET/MRI scanning. The proposed method is the hybrid of the tissue segmentation based on Gaussian mixture model and the non-liner registration of tissue probability to a subject image. The simulation results showed that attenuation correction using the proposed hybrid method reduced the error on PET image than the conventional segmentation method.
