Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a medical imaging system having a magnetic resonance imaging unit and a positron emission tomography (PET) unit comprising a magnet unit and a patient accommodation space surrounded by the magnet unit, wherein the magnet unit comprises a main magnet, a gradient coil unit and A radio-frequency antenna unit, wherein the positron emission tomography unit has at least two positron emission tomography detector modules. Background technique
[0002] In medical imaging systems comprising a magnetic resonance imaging unit and a positron emission tomography unit (PET unit), magnetic resonance image data are often acquired by means of a local high-frequency antenna unit. The partial radio-frequency antenna unit is preferably arranged around a partial region of the patient to be examined, for example a partial head antenna unit surrounds the patient's head and / or a partial body antenna unit surrounds the patient's torso region, etc. Duri...
