A method for a nuclear medicine examination of a patient is disclosed. In at least one embodiment of the method, a magnetic resonance recording of an examination region of the patient is created after a magnetic resonance contrast agent has been administered to the patient. A distribution of the magnetic resonance contrast agent in the examination region is automatically determined from the magnetic resonance recording. After a nuclear medicine tracer has been administered to the patient, a nuclear medicine recording of the examination region of the patient is created. The magnetic resonance contrast agent and the nuclear medicine tracer have essentially identical pharmacokinetic properties. The nuclear medicine recording is corrected as a function of the distribution of the magnetic resonance contrast agent in the examination region.
