摘要： A radio frequency (RF) body coil assembly includes a coil support structure including an inner tubular member, an outer tubular member disposed radially outwardly from the inner tubular member, and a structural material disposed between the inner and outer tubular members, an RF coil mounted to an inner surface of the coil support structure, and a positron emission tomography (PET) detector assembly mounted to an outer surface of the coil support structure. A dual-modality imaging system is also described.

摘要： A radio frequency space cooling system (11) for a magnetic resonance imager system (10) includes a thermal energy transfer device (78). The energy transfer device (78) reduces the temperature of a cooling fluid (86) within the cooling system (11). A cooling element (82) is coupled to the energy transfer device (78) and extends along a patient bore (15) between a radio frequency shield (22) and a radio frequency coil (20) of the magnetic resonance imager system (10). The cooling element (82) has a channel (90) for passage of the cooling fluid (86).
