Abstract
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.
