A multiple examination arrangement has a number of imaging systems that are arranged at one location such that a patient lying on a movable patient support table can be examined in each of the imaging systems without changing beds. One of the imaging systems is a magnetic resonance system having an actively shielded magnet, another is a radiographic angio system, preferably offset laterally relative to the z-axis of the magnet. Selected components of the angio system have a soft-magnetic covering as shielding against the static stray field of the MR system.

Angio-MR system

A nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus has coils for respectively generating fundamental and gradient magnetic fields in which an examination subject is disposed, and RF coil for displacing the nuclear spins of the examination subject from an equilibrium position, and direct galvanic connections to the examination subject for obtaining the nuclear magnetic resonance signals arising during relaxation of the excited nuclear spins. The examination subject thus becomes a part of the reception antenna or the feed line thereof, thus avoiding the use of an RF coil for acquiring such signals.
