ABSTRACT:
An x-ray computed tomography apparatus has an x-ray source that can be rotated around a system axis and a diaphragm that is disposed downstream from the x-ray source in the ray propagation direction for gating a fan-shaped ray beam that irradiates a subject. The diaphragm has two gating elements in each of which an absorber element is held, clamped on a carrier at two points in a clamping device provided on the carrier.
