ABSTRACT:
To enlarge the angle range to be covered, with a simultaneously smaller variance of the focal spots, in a gantry for a computed tomography at least two x-ray tubes are provided for generation of an x-ray beam instead of a single x-ray tube. The respective x-ray beams of the x-ray tubes cover a defined examination region and a defined region of the detector device in the axial direction of the gantry substantially without overlapping with one another.
