Abstract
In a computed tomography (CT) device for generating tomograms of slices of an examination object, which are inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of a patient support plate that is provided for an examination subject, the gantry of the CT device and the support plate can be tilted relative to one another and in the tilted state, the support plate and the gantry can be linearly adjusted relative to one another substantially in the direction of the system axis of the CT device for generating a relative movement between the gantry and the support plate.
