  • Publication number: 20240065647
    Abstract: A computed tomography device includes a gantry with a supporting gantry part and a rotor. The rotor has a projection data acquisition system and an energy store configured to supply energy to the projection data acquisition system. The rotor is rotatably mounted relative to the supporting gantry part. The gantry has an energy transmission system configured for energy transmission from the supporting gantry part to the energy store of the rotor, wherein the rotor is configured to be at rest relative to the supporting gantry part during the energy transmission from the supporting gantry part to the energy store of the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20240000400
    Abstract: A computed tomography device has a gantry with an opening and a body support apparatus to support a body of a person, the body support apparatus has a board and is arranged relative to the opening such that a shoulder region of the body of the person rests on the board when the board is in an examination position of the board relative to the gantry and the head of the person is inserted into the opening along a system axis of the gantry, the body support apparatus has a pivoting apparatus and the board is mounted pivotably about a pivot axis relative to the gantry via the pivoting apparatus such that a first pivoting movement of the board about the pivot axis can move the board relative to the gantry from a preparation position of the board to the examination position of the board.

  • Publication number: 20230094920
    Abstract: The computed tomography device has a gantry with an opening and a radiation protection apparatus for covering the opening. The radiation protection apparatus includes a radiation protection cover and a pivoting apparatus, wherein an object under examination may be inserted into the opening along a system axis of the gantry when the radiation protection cover is in a first position relative to the gantry. The radiation protection cover is pivotably mounted relative to the gantry about a pivot axis by the pivoting apparatus such that a first pivoting motion of the radiation protection cover about the pivot axis enables the radiation protection cover to be lowered relative to the gantry from the first position to a second position. The computed tomography device may furthermore include at least one of a lighting system or a camera system.
