Abstract
A medical diagnostic installation has an MR apparatus and an X-ray exposure apparatus and allows MR exposures and X-ray exposures to be simultaneously produced. A common patient support is provided, so that a patient can be simultaneously charged with magnetic fields and transirradiated by X-rays. The generation of the X-ray images ensues with a solid-state detector.
