==COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXECUTING TRANSLATION MOVEMENTS OF GANTRY PARTS OF A COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18478742 titled 'COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXECUTING TRANSLATION MOVEMENTS OF GANTRY PARTS OF A COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a computed tomography device with a gantry that allows for translation movement of the first gantry part relative to the second gantry part along a linear guide.

* The gantry of the computed tomography device includes a first gantry part, a second gantry part, and a third gantry part.
* The first gantry part houses a rotor with a projection data acquisition system and is movably mounted relative to the second gantry part via a linear guide.
* The translation movement of the first gantry part along the linear guide enables specific scanning capabilities for the device.
