ABSTRACT:
A computed tomography apparatus permits tomographic exposures to be produced using a single gantry, but with a number of differently located patient tables. For this purpose, the gantry is mounted so as to be movable on a horizontal surface, so that it can be moved from a standby position into a number of differently-located operating positions. The gantry has a connector mechanism permitting temporary and releasable attachment of the gantry to the patient support table with which it is being used at a given time. The connector mechanism can be controlled by the computed used to generate the tomographic images for finely positioning the gantry relative to the patient table.
