PET-DETECTOR FOR A COMBINED PET/MRI-SCANNER

The invention relates to a PET-detector (2) for a combined PET/MRI-scanner (1), said PET-detector (2) comprising a shielding (ES) against electromagnetic fields, such that electromagnetic fields generated by the MRI-scanner (3) are kept away from the PET-detector (2), and such that electromagnetic f...

More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a PET-detector (2) for a combined PET/MRI-scanner (1), said PET-detector (2) comprising a shielding (ES) against electromagnetic fields, such that electromagnetic fields generated by the MRI-scanner (3) are kept away from the PET-detector (2), and such that electromagnetic fields of the processing electronics of the PET-detector (2) are kept away from a receiver coil of the MRI-scanner (3), wherein the PET-detector (2) is suitable for use within the MRI-scanner (3), wherein the scanning unit (B) of the PET detector (2) is oriented substantially not in parallel with the main axis (A) of the MRI-scanner (3), wherein the shielding (ES) of the PET-detector (2) has at least one slot (S1; S2), which is perpendicular to the main axis of the MRI-scanner (A) at least in one projection, in order to prevent induced currents.
