Abstract
An imaging system () includes a rotating frame (), a second frame (), and a support () that rotatably couples the rotating frame () to the second frame (). One of the rotating frame () or the second frame () is compliantly coupled to the support () and the other of the rotating frame () or the second frame () is rigidly coupled to the support (). An imaging system includes a rotating frame (), a tilt frame (), and a stationary frame (). A frame stiffener () provides structural support for the rotating and tilt frames () along transverse axes. An imaging system () includes a rotating frame () and a second frame () that rotatably supports the rotating frame (). The rotating frame () is coupled to the second frame () through a contactless bearing and controlled by a contactless mechanism. A braking component () selectively applies a brake to the rotating frame ().
