OSTI ID:5214634
In a computed tomography scanner this patent describes an apparatus comprising: a gantry supporting an annular array of detectors defining an X-ray scanning plane, the gantry having a through-passage with a generally cylindrical inside diameter; a frame coupled to the gantry for rotation relative to the gantry, the frame supporting an X-ray source for irradiating a subject of interest in the plane as the gantry and the frame rotate relative to each other; a bearing for rotatably coupling the frame and gantry, and an induction motor for imparting relative rotation between the frame and gantry.
