Abstract:
An imaging system includes a magnetic resonance portion that produces an electric field and a second imaging portion, including a detector with a two dimensional array of detector tiles, wherein adjacent tiles along an axial direction are spaced apart by an electrically conductive material, which shields the tiles from the electric field. An imaging system includes a first imaging portion having a detector, which includes an array of scintillation crystals and a photo-sensor coupled to the array of scintillation crystals, wherein an output of the photo-sensor includes a unique ratio of information that identifies each crystal.
