Abstract
A hybrid tomograph that includes a chamber for examining an object, a TOF-PET tomograph and an MRI tomograph. The MRI tomograph has a magnet for producing a magnetic field and a receiving-transmitting coil. The TOF-PET tomograph has polymer scintillation strips to transmit scintillation photons outside the magnet of the MRI tomograph and outside the chamber of the hybrid TOF-PET/MRI tomograph. The polymer scintillation strips are arranged circumferentially inside the magnetic field produced by the magnet of the MRI tomograph. Photoelectric converters for converting light signals from the polymer scintillation strips to electrical signals are arranged outside the magnet of the MRI tomograph and outside the chamber of the hybrid TOF-PET/MRI tomograph.
