Abstract
A gantry of a computed tomography system is rotated relative to a fixed base body of the computed tomography system. During the rotation of the gantry, digital data is transmitted between the gantry and the base body from a data source via a modulator, a transmission channel and a demodulator to a data sink. A transmission signal generated by the modulator by modulating a data stream supplied to the modulator from the data source is pre-distorted by a pre-distortion facility. The pre-distorted transmission signal is supplied to the transmission channel. Alternatively, or in addition, a transmitted signal transmitted via the transmission channel is post-distorted by a post-distortion facility and the post-distorted signal is supplied to the demodulator. The pre-distortion rule and/or the post-distortion rule are repeatedly reset by a setting facility during the rotation of the gantry.
