A medical imaging device includes a stationary device part and a moveable device part moveably mounted for this purpose. A power source is arranged on the stationary device part. A number of main electrical consumers, a number of secondary electrical consumers, and an energy storage device are arranged on the moveable device part. A power transmission link, arranged between the stationary device part and the moveable device part, is designed to transmit power from the stationary device part to the moveable device part. On the stationary device part, an energy emitting component of the power transmission link is connected to the power source and on the moveable device part, an energy receiving component of the power transmission link is switchably connected to the main consumer and to the secondary consumer via switching device(s), and to the energy storage device. The energy storage device is switchably connected to the secondary consumer.

A method for imaging with a radiotherapy device is provided. The radiotherapy device includes a movably mounted imaging apparatus with an X-ray source and an oppositely disposed X-ray detector. The method includes preparing a first image with the imaging apparatus from a first imaging direction. The imaging apparatus is moved to a position that permits the preparation of a second image from a second imaging direction extending at an angle to the first imaging direction. The method also includes preparing the second image with the imaging apparatus from the second imaging direction, and verifying the position of an object to be irradiated using the first image and the second image.
