Tomograph for producing transverse layer images

Claim 1

Tomographic apparatus for producing transverse layer images of an exposure subject, with an X-ray source, and X-ray generator including a high voltage transformer supplying the X-ray source to produce an X-ray beam penetrating the exposure subject, of which the cross-sectional extent perpendicular to the layer plane is the same as the layer thickness, with a radiation receiver which determines the radiation intensity behind the subject by scanning the projected X-ray beam, with a rotating frame for rotating the X-ray source in the layer plane to scan the exposure subject in different directions and with a measured value converter to transform the signals supplied by the radiation receiver into a layer image, characterized in that a medium frequency generator (14) supplies the high voltage transformer with a medium frequency which is higher than the mains frequency, that at least the structural elements on the high voltage side (12, 13, 18, 21) of the X-ray generator (12 to 21) are fixed along with the medium frequency generator (14) on the rotating frame (4) and that a rotating current coupling (24) is provided to transfer the energy between the rotating frame (4) and a stationary energy supply apparatus (16, 17, FIG. 5; or 17, FIG. 6).
