Abstract
A tomographic apparatus has a rotatable part mounted for rotation in a track of a stationary part. The apparatus has a radiation field generating element which requires cooling, and has a coolant circulator for that purpose. As a further part of the cooling system, the coolant is circulated around the exterior of the rotatable part in the vicinity of the track, and a number of cooling fins in heat-transferring communication with the coolant project into the track for dissipating heat from the coolant. An additional coolant may be circulated within the track for assisting in removal of heat from the cooling fins. The rotatable part may be further provided with a transmitting antenna, and the stationary part provided with a receiving antenna, for transmitting signals between those parts relating to examination of a subject.
