Abstract
NMR-PET scanner apparatus is provided wherein a PET detector is disposed within a magnetic imaging structure of an NMR device. The output of the PET detector is conveyed through light pipes to photodetectors which are shielded and disposed without the magnetic imaging structure of the NMR device to avoid interaction between the photodetectors and the magnetic field generated by the magnetic imaging structure of the NMR device.
