Abstract
An exemplary embodiment comprises a patient support, a radiation source which generates a radiation beam penetrating the radiography subject, a radiation receiver which converts the radiation intensity behind the subject into electric signals, a measurand converter for the conversion of the electric signals delivered by the radiation receiver into an optically visible image, and a rotating frame assembly on which the radiation source and the radiation receiver are mounted and which, for the purpose of scanning the radiography subject from various directions, is rotatably mounted about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the patient support. The rotating radiation source is adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the patient support jointly with movement of the patient support so that several parallel transverse layers of the radiography subject can be very rapidly scanned.
