The first imaging modality is an X-ray imaging modality, while the second imaging modality is a non-X-ray imaging modality. The first sensor arrangement comprises one or a plurality of first sensor segments () arranged within a first circumferential line () defining a first imaging area (). The second sensor arrangement comprises one or a plurality of second sensor segments () arranged within a second circumferential line () defining a second imaging area (). The first imaging area and the second imaging area at least partly overlap.
