  • Publication number: 20220192612
    Abstract: A method is for actuating a medical imaging device including a radiation source, embodied during a rotational movement around an axis of rotation to irradiate an irradiation region from a plurality of angular positions. In an embodiment, the method includes capturing an object position of a moving object relative to the irradiation region. The Method further includes actuating the medical imaging device based upon the captured object position of the moving object, such that the intensity of the radiation emitted by the radiation source for a first partial number of the plurality of angular positions in a first angular range round the axis of rotation is reduced relative to a second partial number of the plurality of angular positions in a second angular range around the axis of rotation, he captured object position being included in the first angular range.

  • Publication number: 20140079191
    Abstract: An imaging device has a gantry that is movable along a floor, and a supply unit for transmission of power and/or data between a stationary supply source and the movable gantry. The transmission of the power and/or data takes place via wireless transmission elements. This wireless transmission of the power and/or data between the transmission elements can take place via conductor structures, and the wireless transmission elements are arranged in the floor of the room of the imaging device and in a sled of the movable gantry.
