  • CT imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 11969271
    Abstract: The invention relates, in particular, to structures of a dental and medical cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) apparatus. The basic construction of the apparatus includes two elongated frame parts (11, 21) out of which the first frame part (11) is arranged to support X-ray imaging means (14, 15) and wherein the frame parts (11, 21) are mechanically connected to each other via an articulated construction (22) so as to allow for tilting of the first frame part (11) supporting the X-ray imaging means (14, 15) with respect to the second frame part (21). At the proximity of the second end of the first and second elongated frame parts (11, 21) is arranged a locking mechanism (24) configured to enable connecting together and disconnecting the first and second elongated frame parts (11, 21).
