Abstract
A method is disclosed for data acquisition and/or data evaluation during a functional brain examination with the aid of a combined magnetic resonance/PET unit. In at least one embodiment, functional image data of the brain are acquired in at least two activity states with the aid of both modalities. Further, magnetic resonance image data and PET image data are acquired within time windows determined by the activity states, the acquisition mode and/or the image data being synchronized as a function of a timing of stimulations determining the activity states.
