Abstract: An irradiation system for simultaneous application of radiation therapy and hyperthermia is provided. The irradiation system has a radiation source and a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus comprising a controller, a plurality of local coils for arrangement on the body of a patient, and a plurality of transmission devices. The transmission devices are configured to supply the local coils with radiofrequency signals independently of one another. In this case, the controller is configured to actuate the transmission devices in such a way that a predetermined region in the body of the patient is heated to a predetermined temperature by means of the radiofrequency signals emitted by the local coils. The radiation source is configured to irradiate a target in the predetermined region.

Abstract: A whole-body coil arrangement for an open magnetic resonance scanner for use with a second diagnostic and/or therapeutic modality is proposed. The whole-body coil arrangement includes at least one coil conductor and a radio-frequency shield. The whole-body coil arrangement is embodied at least in part as essentially transparent to the second modality.

Abstract: A radiation therapy system is proposed. The system has a magnetic resonance imaging device with a first and second magnetic coil units distanced from one another by a gap. The coil units interact to generate a magnetic field propagating along a longitudinal axis. The system has a linear accelerator arranged at a radial distance from the longitudinal axis in the gap or in the radial extension of the gap. The system also has a high frequency shielding arrangement with a first and second high frequency shielding cabins arranged adjacent to the first and second magnetic coil units respectively and high frequency sealed connected to one another with a tubular high frequency shielding unit arranged along the longitudinal axis within the first and second magnetic coil units. A high frequency shielding concept is independent of an embodiment of the magnetic system of the imaging device and is universally applicable.
