    摘要: A combined PET/MRI tomography unit has a PET unit with a unit part assigned to the examination space, and a first evaluation unit for evaluating the PET electric signals. The unit part has a gamma ray detector. The combined unit has an MRI unit and a second evaluation unit for evaluating MRI signals. The MRI unit has a high frequency antenna as well as a gradient coil system, the high frequency antenna device being arranged nearer to the examination space than the gradient coil system, as well as a high frequency shield arranged between the gradient coil system and the high frequency antenna device. The PET unit part is arranged between the high frequency shield and the high frequency antenna device. A shielding cover for the high frequency antenna device faces the high frequency antenna device. The shielding cover is opaque to high frequency radiation.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for imaging functional and electrical activities of the brain are disclosed. In order to allow improved relative positional determination of the epileptogenic focus with reference to the EEG electrodes, a positron emission tomography measurement using at least one radiation detector, and a magnetic resonance imaging measurement using at least one coil for generating a basic magnetic field, at least one gradient coil and a radio-frequency antenna device are undertaken in at least one embodiment. In addition, in at least one embodiment an electroencephalography measurement using a plurality of electrodes for acquiring spatial and temporal changes of the electrical activities of the brain and a computed tomography measurement using at least one x-ray source and at least one x-ray detector are carried out. By way of an evaluation apparatus in at least one embodiment, a spatial correlation between the computed tomography measurement and the magnetic resonance imaging measurement is undertaken, so as to result in registration between the electroencephalography measurement and the positron emission tomography measurement.

    摘要: A method for determining positron emission measurement information in the context of positron emission tomography is disclosed. The method includes using a marker substance to carry out a positron emission measurement, in a body area of a subject to be examined, to determine positron emission measurement information, and at the same time, generating images of the body area to be examined by way of a second medical method with a time resolution suitable for determining perfusion and/or diffusion information. The method further includes using the images from the second method to determine perfusion and/or diffusion information for at least a part of the measurement period, and evaluating the positron emission measurement information as a function of the perfusion and/or diffusion information.

    摘要: An endoscopy capsule has a capsule housing containing at least one magnetic element that interacts with an extracorporeally applied magnetic field to magnetically navigate the endoscopy capsule within a body lumen of a patient. The capsule housing has a tube connected thereto that is composed of a flexible, non-rigid material, i.e., of insufficient rigidity to feed the capsule housing in the body lumen. The tube is provided with a feed path for providing any of a liquid agent, a gaseous agent, electrical power and data between the capsule housing an extracorporeal source.

    摘要: An optical scanning device is provided. The optical scanning device an excitation light source that is operable to illuminate the object to be scanned. An image detector is operable to detect excited emission rays through illumination of the object to be scanned by the excitation light source and imaging optics that dictate a focal distance. The image detector detects a scan image of the emission radiation of the object to be scanned with the highest level of image sharpness if the focal distance is maintained. A control device includes a distance sensor through which a distance between an optical scanning device and the object to be scanned can be measured, wherein maintenance of the focal distance as the function of the measured distance can be checked by the control device.
