An imaging method and apparatus, for small animal imaging, in which the object to be examined is treated with an activatable optical contrast medium, which preferably has a metabolically activatable mark, and irradiated by a first optical excitation source. The first radiation reflected from the object is detected by a first optical detector, and simultaneously irradiated by a second tomographic excitation source, while the second radiation transferred from the object is detected by a second tomographic detector. In this case, the second tomographic excitation source advantageously generates an X-ray radiation, so that the resulting CT image can be superposed with the optical image in order to evaluate morphological and functional information.
