ABSTRACT:
A computed tomography system has a stationary part and a part that is rotatable around an examination axis that carries at least one x-ray source, a detector unit opposite the x-ray source and a data acquisition unit connected to the detector unit. A data transfer device for transfer of measurement data (acquired with the data acquisition unit) to an image reconstruction device connected with the stationary part is disposed between the stationary part and the rotatable part. The rotatable part has a storage unit for buffering at least a part of the measurement data acquired with the data acquisition unit before their transfer. This storage unit is connected to the data acquisition unit. The computed tomography system enables operation with a high data rate without the data transfer device having to adapt to the maximal data rate.
