Zusammenfassung:	A gantry system for use with a computed tomography imaging system is provided. The gantry system includes a frame, a support rail coupled to the frame, and a plurality of rollers. The frame defines an annular opening, and is configured to rotate about a rotational axis to collect imaging data from an object positioned within the opening. The support rail includes a canted sidewall having a radial inner surface and a radial outer surface. The plurality of rollers rotatably supports the support rail to enable rotation of the frame about the rotational axis. The plurality of rollers includes a first roller that engages the radial outer surface of the sidewall and a second roller that engages the radial inner surface of the sidewall.
