  • Patent number: 6385480
    Abstract: A multiple examination arrangement has a number of imaging systems that are arranged at one location such that a patient lying on a movable patient support table can be examined in each of the imaging systems without changing beds. One of the imaging systems is a magnetic resonance system having an actively shielded magnet, another is a radiographic angio system, preferably offset laterally relative to the z-axis of the magnet. Selected components of the angio system have a soft-magnetic covering as shielding against the static stray field of the MR system.
