Contactless data communication in CT systems

A CT imaging system for imaging an object is provided. The CT imaging system includes a stationary component, a rotating component configured to rotate with respect to the stationary component, a first conductive line coupled to the stationary component, and a second conductive line coupled to the rotating component, wherein the first and second conductive lines are positioned proximate one another such that inductive crosstalk between the first and second conductive lines provides a contactless communication channel for communicating data between the stationary component and the rotating component.
