An image forming method and the imaging device, in particular for the small animal image;

摘要

The present invention relates to a an image forming method and an imaging device, in particular for the small animal image environment, in which the object to be examined (15) with an activatable optical contrast medium, which is preferably a metabolically activatable marking, and offset from a first optical excitation source (7) is irradiated, wherein the object (15) reflected first radiation (13) of a first optical detector (9) is sensed and wherein the object to be examined (15), at the same time, from a second excitation source (1) is irradiated, while the from the object (15) transferred second radiation (5) of a second detector (2) is detected. The second excitation source (1) with advantage in the form of an x-ray radiation, so that the resulting ct - image with the optical image for the evaluation of morphological and functional information can be superimposed on.
