In this paper we report first imaging results of our preclinical PET/MR insert for a clinical 3T MRI. The system uses a highly integrated and MR-compatible detector technology with local digitization of the analog detector signals. After a brief overview of the system, compatibility measurements with a focus on the disturbance of the main magnetic field (B0) and the RF receive noise of the MR are shown and discussed. Finally, the first simultaneous structural phantom measurement is shown and discussed.

Abstract
In this paper we report first imaging results of our preclinical PET/MR insert for a clinical 3T MRI. The system uses a highly integrated and MR-compatible detector technology with local digitization of the analog detector signals. After a brief overview of the system, compatibility measurements with a focus on the disturbance of the main magnetic field (B0) and the RF receive noise of the MR are shown and discussed. Finally, the first simultaneous structural phantom measurement is shown and discussed.File in questo prodotto:
