Abstract
A radiology device includes a support capable of translational movement about an axis of translation relative to a frame of the device, the support being intended to support an object that is to be imaged, an ionizing-ray generator and a detector configured to detect the rays emitted by the generator, the generator and the detector facing one another. The generator comprises several sources each considered to emit from a focal point, the focal points of the various sources being distributed along a sources axis, the detector extending along a detector axis, the sources axis and the detector axis extending in the form of mutually intertwined helices about the axis of translation.
