## Abstract

PET/MR is a young modality that is technically complex, with a fast pace of growth in technology development and
an increasing number of sites nationwide. This can result in a hyper-competitive environment where sharing
technology among centers is not the norm. This is the very motivation behind making Training and Dissemination a
cornerstone of our CMITT program to aim at breaking down barriers through cultivating collaborations, providing
numerous opportunities for training physicists, engineers, radiochemists, and clinicians, and supporting avenues of
broad dissemination. CMITT aims to advance the field of simultaneous PET/MR imaging by recognizing and
responding to unmet technical and clinical challenges of our academic and industrial partners and developing
technological advancements and translating these to fulfill technical and clinical needs. The overall goal of CMITT
Training and Dissemination is to train interested parties from academia and industry involved in simultaneous
PET/MR imaging and related research and to broadly disseminate the essential knowledge, tools and techniques
required to advance preclinical and clinical PET/MR imaging research. If funded, CMITT would allow training of MD
and PhD scientists in the latest advances in PET/MR from both the technical and clinical perspectives. To achieve
this goal requires a user community that is experienced in the utilization of imaging systems and working with and
interpreting image data sets. Thus, the training and dissemination initiatives are an essential component and
cornerstone of our mission.
