Abstract: A method is for capturing projection data. The method includes positioning the first diaphragm jaw and a second diaphragm jaw to set a layer collimation of a fan beam of radiation via the first diaphragm jaw and the second diaphragm jaw; capturing projection data of a region of a patient to be imaged via a detector and radiation source rotated in a plane of rotation, moving the region of the patient to be imaged relative to the plane of rotation, the fan beam penetrating the region of the patient to be imaged and striking the detector; and moving at least one of the first and second diaphragm jaw during the capturing, to dynamically adjust a position of a boundary surface of the fan beam to a position of a boundary surface of the region, to avoid the fan beam penetrating the patient outside the region to be imaged.

Abstract: A method is for correcting an imbalance in a computed tomography system, in which a supporting structure includes a radiation source is fitted on a fixed mounting frame. The supporting structure rotates together with the radiation source about a measurement space, in which is fixed in place a measurement object having a known attenuation response for the radiation emitted by the radiation source. The method includes detecting first measurement data of the radiation while the supporting structure rotates about the measurement object, determining an imbalance arising during the rotation of the supporting structure on the basis of the acquired first measurement data of the radiation, and determining a position and a weight of at least one counterweight on the supporting structure in order to reduce the determined imbalance, or determining correction data, which is used to correct the imbalance in software.

Abstract: In an arrangement for holding a first fastening element and a second fastening element on an axle element for an axle of a motor vehicle, in particular of a utility vehicle, the first fastening element arranged on a first side of the axle element and intended to support a spring mechanism of the axle is held on the axle element. The second fastening element is arranged on a second side of the axle element facing away from the first side and is used to support a bracket engaging, at least partially, around the axle element and intended for fastening the spring mechanism on the axle element is held on the axle element. At least one of the fastening elements is joined to the axle element by a welding rivet.
