A device is disclosed for superposed magnetic resonance and positron
emission tomography imaging. In at least one embodiment the device
includes a gradient coil and a positron emission tomography unit (PET
unit). The PET unit is arranged within the gradient coil and has a first
shield against radiofrequency radiation which in part surrounds the PET
unit, and a second shield against radiofrequency radiation is arranged on
the gradient coil. The first shield is connected to the second shield to
form a shield which is at least partly closed. This makes a closed shield
for the PET unit possible, which nevertheless is still easily accessible
for maintenance purposes due to the two-part design of the shield.
