Medical imaging device for combined magnetic resonance imaging and irradiation and method for determining the configuration of shim units
Abstract:
An imaging system includes a magnetic resonance imaging device and a radiation generator that are mechanically linked to each other such that both surround a patient bore for receiving and positioning the examination subject. The magnetic resonance imaging device has at least one main magnet for generating a magnetic field, and the radiation generator has a radiation source for generating radiation. The imaging system is configured from a static part and a part that is rotatable through an angle of rotation such that at least one rotatable main magnet is rotatable around a static radiation generation unit or a rotatable radiation generation unit is rotatable around at least one static main magnet. The imaging system includes at least two passive shim units, of which at least one static shim unit is stationary and at least one rotatable shim unit is fixedly connected to the rotatable part.
