A measurement of the attenuation of radiation from F‐18 by a PET/MR scanner

The attenuation of 511 keV photons by the structure of a PET/MR scanner was measured prior to energizing the magnet. The exposure rate from a source of fluorine‐18 was measured in air and, with the source placed at the isocenter of the instrument, at various points outside of the scanner. In an arc...
