Measure the impact of MR acquisition correction sequences for attenuation correction on PET quantitation accuracy
-PET images from PET/MRI with the MR derived attenuation correction will be compared to images generated with the CT attenuation correction from the standard of care PET/CT scan.
Time frame: At the time of the MRI scan
