Abstract
An apparatus having a combined magnetic resonance apparatus is proposed. The magnetic resonance apparatus features at least one main magnet for generating a main magnetic field in an examination space for a magnetic resonance measurement, and a radiation therapy apparatus, which is provided to generate a particle beam and which features a beam guide. The magnetic resonance apparatus features an essentially magnetic-field-free region and the beam guide for the particle beam runs along the essentially magnetic-field-free region.
Claims19
A magnetic resonance apparatus, comprising:
- a main magnet for generating a main magnetic field in an examination space for a magnetic resonance measurement, wherein the main magnetic field comprises a magnetic-field-free region, wherein the main magnet is disposed in a vacuum vessel;
- a radiation therapy apparatus for generating a particle beam;
- and
- a beam guide arranged in the radiation therapy apparatus and running at least partially within the vacuum vessel along the magnetic-field-free region for guiding the particle beam.
