Patent ID: 10850127

Abstract:
The present invention provides a medical apparatus (100) comprising a magnetic resonance imaging system (110) for acquiring magnetic resonance data from an imaging volume (122) covering at least partially a subject of interest (120), wherein the magnetic resonance imaging system (110) comprises a main magnet (112) for generating a magnetic field within the imaging volume (122), a particle beam apparatus (150) having a particle beam line (152) for a particle beam (154) of charged particles, including a gantry (156) configured for rotating around a rotational axis (R), which is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the main magnet (112), wherein the gantry (156) comprises at least one bending magnet (158) for directing the particle beam (154) to an irradiation volume (124) within the imaging volume (122), an active compensation coil (200), which is arranged to substantially surround at least the imaging volume (122), and a control unit (132) for controlling the active compensation coil (200) for canceling a stray field caused by the at least one bending magnet (158) within the imaging volume (122) at least in the longitudinal direction of the main magnet (112). The present invention also provides a shielding method for use in the above medical apparatus (100).
