Abstract

The invention relates to a computer-assisted tomography (CT) system having the following features: a) at least one X-ray source, b) at least one patient couch for supporting a patient, c) at least one first X-ray detector, provided permanently or at least temporarily in the ray path of the X-rays radiated by the X-ray source through the patient couch, d) at least one second X-ray detector, provided permanently or at least temporarily in the ray path of the X-rays radiated by the X-ray source through the patient couch, e) at least one actuable drive mechanism, using which the first and/or second X-ray detector can be moved from a position in the ray path of the X-rays radiated by the X-ray source through the patient couch, to a position outside the ray path and vice versa, f) at least one electronic control device that is configured to actuate the drive mechanism.
