FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in a hybrid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (or MR scanner), which comprises an MRI system and another imaging system, for example, in the form of a high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system. The RF transmitting and/or receiving antenna includes a conducting structure which only minimally interrupts the ultrasonic field or beams generated by the HIFU system by ensuring transparency or reflectivity thereof with respect to the ultrasonic field or beams.
EFFECT: providing minimal interruption of an ultrasonic field or beams generated by a HIFU system.
