Note that most PET scans are currently PET-CT scans, which is a PET scan image (which shows just hot spots) overlaid on a CT scan image, so they can see which organs are hot. This article is talking about PET-MRI scans which are PET scan images overlaid on MRI scans.

There are some PET-MRI scanners at the top treatment centres and private hospitals in the UK, but most PET scanners are PET-CT scanners.
