Abstract
Device for alternating examination of a measurement object () by means of MPI and MRI within a magnetic system is characterized in that the magnetic system has a specified magnetic field profile, which is not temporally variable during the alternating examination, and both magnetic field generating elements () generate a magnetic field portion, in the first examination region () and in the second examination region (), which is essential for the MRI operation and for the MPI operation, and in that there is a transport apparatus () by means of which the measurement object can be moved out of the first examination region and into the second examination region and/or vice versa. The total space requirement for both modalities is thus reduced and the complexity of an integrally designed hybrid system is minimized.
