Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for designing a local coil to be used in a combined PET magnetic resonance device for magnetic resonance imaging in relation to the arrangement of radiation-attenuating electronic elements in an irradiation area for PET photons. In an embodiment of the method, taking into consideration at least one boundary condition specifying the degree of freedom of the positioning of the electronic elements, optimization of the positions of the electronic elements is undertaken in an optimization method in respect of a uniform distribution of attenuation centers which is as substantial as possible.
