The apparatus comprises an X-ray source (6) to generate a beam of radiations (7) through an object (4) or the body of a patient to be examined and a multichannel detector (8) to provide information concerning the intensity of the radiation retransmitted by the object examined. Both the source and detector are mounted on a rotor (2) integral with the stator (1) which surrounds the object (4) examined. It also comprises at least one lateral diffusion light guide (14, 15) wound round the rotor (2) or on the internal surface of the stator (1) to transmit optically between optical receiver and emitter means (9, 10) of the rotor (2) and corresponding optical means (16, 17) of the stator (1), the information provided by the multichannel detector (8) and the control information of the X-ray source (6).
