Abstract: USE OF A DIPOLE ANTENNA ARRAY FOR HYBRID MR-PET AND MR-SPECT SCANS AND MR-PET OR MR-SPECT TOMOGRAPH WITH A DIPOLE ANTENNA ARRAYAbstractAbstract not available for EP3980800B1 – abstract of corresponding document: WO2020244689A1The invention relates to a dipole antenna array for hybrid MR-PET and MR-SPECT scans, to the use thereof, and to an MR-PET or MR-SPECT tomograph with a dipole antenna array. In accordance with the invention a dipole antenna array is provided, in which the dipole antenna elements (1) have a folding (2) at one end, which folding consists of a bend (3), a bent region (4), and the projection of the bent region (5) of the dipole antenna element (1) over the length of the dipole antenna element (1), the dipole antenna elements at least partially enclosing a cavity. The dipole antenna array is used in an MR-PET or ME-SPECT device, which also forms part of the subject matter of the invention.
