Abstract:
A device for superposed magnetic resonance tomography and positron emission tomography imaging is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a magnetic resonance tomography magnet, which defines a longitudinal axis; a magnetic resonance tomography gradient coil, arranged radially within the magnetic resonance tomography magnet; a magnetic resonance tomography RF coil, arranged radially within the magnetic resonance tomography gradient coil; and a multiplicity of positron emission tomography detection units, arranged in pairs lying opposite to one another about the longitudinal axis. In at least one embodiment, the many positron emission tomography detection units are arranged radially within the magnetic resonance tomography gradient coil and are arranged along the longitudinal axis next to the magnetic resonance tomography RF coil.
