Abstract:
The effect of the shielding in a PET-MRI system was numerically estimated by calculating the RF magnetic field, B1, produced by a coil array of 4 independent elements at the resonant frequency of 171 MHz (4T for protons). The array coil is located inside a μPET camera to simultaneously acquire PET and MR images of a rat brain. Profiles showed a good uniformity despite the shielding that is interacting between the coil array and the μPET camera. These limitations are currently being dealt with the fabrication of a birdcage coil design.

Magnetic Susceptibility and Permeability
When diamagnetic materials are placed under an external magnetic field, the moments opposite to the field are induced. Hence, the susceptibility for diamagnets has a minimal negative value of 10-5–10-6. Since...
