A base body of a computed tomography drum is disclosed. In an embodiment, the base body includes at least the following components: a base plate, an outer ring and an inner ring. The inner ring is arranged concentrically with the outer ring. The outer ring and the inner ring are arranged on the base plate. At least two of the components are configured as separately producible components. Two of the separately producible components are connected to one another by way of at least one of: bonding, welding, riveting, clinching, clinch-bonding and/or rivet-bonding.

A couch panel for a patient couch for a medical imaging method is disclosed. The couch panel is of single-shell design, beads are formed in the longitudinal direction of the couch panel, wherein the number and the shape of the beads are chosen such that the couch panel has a predefinable geometric moment of inertia. The two longitudinally extending edges of the couch panel are bent upward. This is advantageous because of the cost-effective production of a couch panel and, in the case of X-ray imaging, in the low radiation absorption. A patient couch having a couch panel of this kind is likewise disclosed.
