Abstract
The invention relates to a computer tomography installation having contactless data signal transmission. The device comprises at least one longitudinally slit coaxial conductor element (1), at least one high-frequency transmitting unit (3), which feeds into the conductor element (1) a high-frequency carrier signal modulated with a data signal to be transmitted, at least one longitudinally slit coaxial coupling conductor element (2), which is designed to receive the emitted modulated high-frequency carrier signal (21) from the near field of the conductor element (1), and at least one high-frequency receiving unit (4), which is electrically connected to the coupling conductor element (2) and is designed to extract the data signal from the received modulated high-frequency carrier signal, wherein the conductor element (1) and the coupling conductor element (2) are arranged in such a way that the conductor element and the coupling conductor element can be moved in relation to each other. The conductor element (1) is arranged on a rotatable gantry part (12), and the coupling conductor element is arranged on a stationary gantry part (13). The invention further relates to a patient table …
