Abstract
One or more techniques and/or apparatuses described herein provide a roller truck comprising non-rotating dampening material that is configured to dampen vibrations and mitigate the transference of vibrations from a rotating gantry to a support frame and vice-versa during rotation of the rotating gantry relative to the support frame. It will be appreciated that two different types of roller trucks, base roller trucks and z-axis roller trucks, are described herein, and the non-rotating dampening material may be inserted into one or both types of roller trucks. While the instant disclosure finds particular application in the context of computed tomography apparatus, the instant disclosure is not intended to be limited to such applications.
