ROENTGENSCHICHTGERAET ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON TRANSVERSALSCHICHTBILDERN

The invention relates to a computer tomograph having an X-ray measuring arrangement (4,5) and a longitudinally movable patient couch (1). The transverse-layer image is produced by rotating the measuring arrangement (4,5) in a plane lying perpendicular to the patient couch (1). To produce a summary picture, the patient is moved in the longitudinal direction with the measuring arrangement (4,5) stationary. In this arrangement, the X-ray tube is pulsed, using a detector array as the beam receiver (5) and the computer (8) stores the output signals of the beam receiver (5) corresponding to one image line for each X-ray pulse. The switching on of the X-ray tube (4) is synchronised by the ECG (Fig. 1).
