The imaging system includes at least one first support device, which supports the patient board after passing through the scan region, which support device is directly attached to the acquisition unit on a side of the unit opposite the side facing the patient positioning table. The system can include a second support device, which is mounted on the patient positioning table for supporting the patient board before it enters the scan region of the acquisition unit.
