POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPH-MAGNETIC RESONANCE TOMOGRAPH COMPOUND APPARATUS, AND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD FOR INSPECTION OBJECT IN INSPECTION SPACE USING POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPH-MAGNETIC RESONANCE TOMOGRAPH COMPOUND APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent positron emission tomographic imaging and magnetic resonance tomographic imaging from interfering with each other.

SOLUTION: This positron emission tomographic apparatus includes: an apparatus part 10 attached to the inspection space and a first evaluation unit 711, wherein the apparatus part 10 includes a gamma ray detector unit 11 having an electronic device unit 12. The magnetic resonance tomographic apparatus includes: a high-frequency antenna device 20 configured as a strip line antenna device having a conductor 20; and an inclined magnetic field coil system 22 disposed away from an inspection space 40 more than the high-frequency antenna device 20, wherein it further includes a high-frequency shield 21 and a second evaluation unit 80 disposed between the inclined magnetic field coil system 22 and the high-frequency antenna device 20. Each conductor 20 includes a gamma ray detector unit 11 having the electronic device unit 12. The conductor 20 is configured as a shield cover not transmitting high-frequency radiation caused by the high-frequency antenna device 20.
