A combined positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging
apparatus for imaging organs of an examination object in an examination
space is disclosed, including a positron emission tomography apparatus
having at least one radiation detector, and a magnetic resonance imaging
apparatus having at least one gradient coil and a radio-frequency antenna
device. In order to prevent mechanical oscillations being induced in the
PET gantry by the gradient coil, at least one embodiment of the combined
position emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is
developed further in that a first molding is provided, whose surface
coincides with the inner shell of the at least one gradient coil, and a
second molding is provided, whose surface coincides with the outer shell
of the radiation detector, the distance between the two shells being
virtually constant over the circumference of the shells, and a vacuum
seal being arranged in each case along at least a first and a second
circumferential line such that a closed cavity is formed between the
vacuum seals.
