A combined positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging
apparatus, in a trailer housing is disclosed, for imaging organs of an
examination object in an examination space. In at least one embodiment,
the positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging apparatus
includes a positron emission tomography apparatus with at least one
radiation detector and a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus with at
least one main magnetic field coil for generating a main magnetic field,
at least one gradient coil for generating a magnetic gradient field, and
a radio-frequency antenna device for transmitting excitation pulses and
receiving magnetic resonance signals from the examination space, the
radiation detector and the at least one gradient coil being arranged
coaxially and at substantially the same axial height. In order to create
a mobile MRI/PET apparatus which is designed as compactly as possible
and, firstly, satisfies the radiation protection requirements for
protecting the surroundings of the measurement apparatus to the best
possible extent and, secondly, excludes interfering environmental
influences on the measurement apparatus, a shielding arrangement with at
least one shielding element for attenuating the main magnetic field and
the gradient field and also the annihilation radiation outside the
trailer housing is provided in at least one embodiment.
