Abstract

A multiple examination arrangement has a number of imaging systems, including at least an angiography system, a CT system and an MR system arranged in a room such that a patient lying on a patient bearing table can be selectively examined without repositioning in one of the imaging systems by a relative movement of the carrier of the imaging systems and the patient support table.
