Abstract
A scanning device for axial transverse tomography comprising a single motor mounted on a first mobile support, which is rotatably mounted on a fixed base, and coupled, on the one hand, to a first indexing mechanism driving a sprocket or pinion, which engages with geared structure or chain secured to the fixed base in order to intermittently rotate the first support about a horizontal axis and, on the other hand, to a second mechanism converting a continuous rotational motion into a rectilinear reciprocating motion of a second mobile support relative to the first one, and which carries the X-ray source and detector assembly.
