Abstract
A method is for determining a heating effect of an imaging sequence of a second imaging modality on a detector of a first modality of a combined imaging device in dependence of a reference imaging sequence of the second imaging modality. A further method is for compensating a heating effect of an imaging sequence of a second imaging modality on a detector of a first modality of a combined imaging device. Furthermore, a combined imaging device includes a magnetic resonance imaging device and a first modality including a detector and a temperature compensation unit configured to compensate for a temperature variation of the detector. The combined imaging device is configured to perform a method for determining a heating effect of an imaging sequence of the magnetic resonance imaging device on the detector of the first modality in dependence of a reference imaging sequence of the magnetic resonance imaging device.
