Abstract

An apparatus having a combined magnetic resonance apparatus is proposed. The magnetic resonance apparatus features at least one main magnet for generating a main magnetic field in an examination space for a magnetic resonance measurement, and a radiation therapy apparatus, which is provided to generate a particle beam and which features a beam guide. The magnetic resonance apparatus features an essentially magnetic-field-free region and the beam guide for the particle beam runs along the essentially magnetic-field-free region.
