Abstract
The system includes a computed tomography gantry, a cart, a rail system, a rotary bearing and a lifting apparatus. In a translational operating state of the system, the cart is mounted to be movable along the rail system in a first translational motion along the rail system. The computed tomography gantry, the rotary bearing and the lifting apparatus are each held in the cart such that they follow the first translational motion of the cart. In the transitional operating state of the system, the cart is mounted to be movable, via the lifting apparatus, along a vertical axis of rotation relative to the rail system in a lifting motion, wherein the computed tomography gantry is held in the cart and follows the lifting motion of the cart relative to the rail system.
