MULTI-MODALITY TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to a multi-modality tomography apparatus (11) including a first tomograph and a second (14) tomograph or image system using different tomography techniques, such as X-ray CT tomography and PET or SPECT tomography, or a tomographic or planar optical image system which are housed on the same surface of a support means (12) which can rotate in both directions of rotation around an axial support shaft (12), such that a patient undergoing examination on a patient support does not have to be moved during a tomographic examination with any of the two tomographs (13, 14) installed on the same face of the support (12).
