ABSTRACT:
An improved X-ray tomography system having an X-ray source, X-ray detector assembly and support means including a frame supporting a rotatable drum on which at least the source is mounted for rotation in a scanning plane about an axis of rotation. The rotatable drum is supported for centerless rotation on a cradle formed by resilient rollers, with the top half of the drum free to expand or contract as a result of temperature changes. The rollers are resilient so as to dampen vibration transfer between the frame and drum.
