Abstract
A medical imaging examination apparatus has a front wall with an opening to a cylindrical examination area into which a patient to be examined can be moved, and has an illumination arrangement for the illumination of the front wall over a large surface. The illumination of the front wall reduces feelings of fear on the part of a patient, and thus simplifies conducting examinations using the examination apparatus.
