Abstract:
1. A device used in a combinable radiographic medical examination and nuclear medical examination on a patient, comprising: a gamma radiation source arranged on a body of the patient; an x-ray source that emits an x-ray radiation to the body of the patient; a diagnosis device that evaluates the x-ray radiation for the radiographic examination and evaluates the gamma radiation for a single photon emission as the nuclear medical examination, wherein the diagnosis device comprises a patient movement sensor system with a movement sensor that derives a patient movement from results of the x-ray and/or gamma radiation examinations and an RFID transponder and sensors externally applied onto the patient, wherein the derived patient movement is taken into account to eliminate image artifacts during an image reconstruction; and a detector system comprising a detector surface that simultaneously measures the x-ray radiation and the gamma radiation without changing a position of the patient.
