Abstract
At least one embodiment of the invention relates to a method for producing result images of an examination object, in the case of which a number of magnetic resonance images, determined by a magnetic resonance recording device, of the examination object are acquired, and radionuclide emission tomography image data, determined by a radionuclide emission tomography recording device, of the examination object are acquired. In at least one embodiment, the magnetic resonance images for determining contours of a target structure are then segmented, and the contours of the target structure are visualized in common with at least the radionuclide emission tomography image data that are assigned to picture elements located inside the target structure, and/or are stored for a later visualization. Moreover, a corresponding image processing system and an imaging system having such an image processing system are described in at least one embodiment.
