ABSTRACT:
A computed tomography apparatus has a surface X-ray detector composed of detection elements, with all detectors being usable in a spiral scan wherein the detector and an X-ray radiator are rotated around a system axis. The detector has a symmetry axis tilted relative to the system axis by a non-zero acute angle, this angle can be adjustable, including being settable to a value of zero for conducting a conventional spiral scan.
