A novel approach for radio-frequency shielding using hybrid carbon fiber materials and slotted copper layers. A proof of concept has been built and tested in high frecuency MR scanners. The purpose is to use it to shield the MR RF field on PET electronics, allowing simultaneous PET-MR acquisitions.
