Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reconstruction of an image of a morphometric parameter being a ratio of the frequency of annihilation of an electron with a positron to three and two quanta. The device for imaging the interior of the studied object comprises a series of TOF-PET detection modules (110), a data acquisition subsystem (111), a data selection subsystem (113) configured so as to record and identify all types of quanta emitted from the studied object after administration of an isotopic marker, the data processing system being characterised in that it allows for reconstructing (121, 123, 131, 133, 141) and visualising (143) of a ?3?(x,y,z) image of the ration of two-quantum and three-quantum annihilations without the necessity to measure the deexcitation quanta.

Abstract: Fiber structure including a core and a cladding, a central microstructure having a first plurality of longitudinal holes and which is adapted for guiding optical radiation and for birefringence in the core. Also included is a side microstructure having a second plurality of longitudinal holes is provided, wherein the side microstructure partly surrounds the central microstructure and provides a predetermined mechanical anisotropy, a pressure responsive unit for converting an isotropic pressure force to birefringence changes on the core, a lateral force responsive unit for converting a directional pressure force to birefringence changes on the core, a temperature responsive unit for converting temperature to birefringence changes on the core, and a birefringence responsive unit for converting birefringence in the core to wavelength information.
