Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting data from a rotating portion of a medical imaging device to a stationary portion of the medical imaging device. The method includes transmitting the data via radio transmitters on the rotating portion and radio receivers on the stationary portion, wherein each of a plurality of separate transmission pairs is formed, each of the plurality of separate transmission pairs includes one of the radio transmitters and one of the radio receivers, and radio signals are transmitted from the radio transmitter to the radio receiver in the transmission pairs and a main radiation direction of the radio transmitter relating to the radio signals is tracked to the direction of the radio receiver.

Abstract: A gantry of a computed tomography system is rotated relative to a fixed base body of the computed tomography system. During the rotation of the gantry, digital data is transmitted between the gantry and the base body from a data source via a modulator, a transmission channel and a demodulator to a data sink. A transmission signal generated by the modulator by modulating a data stream supplied to the modulator from the data source is pre-distorted by a pre-distortion facility. The pre-distorted transmission signal is supplied to the transmission channel. Alternatively, or in addition, a transmitted signal transmitted via the transmission channel is post-distorted by a post-distortion facility and the post-distorted signal is supplied to the demodulator. The pre-distortion rule and/or the post-distortion rule are repeatedly reset by a setting facility during the rotation of the gantry.
