Abstract

The exemplary embodiments disclose a computer tomograph which also is operable for the preparation of an x-ray shadow image. To this end every detector of the radiation receiver is extended in the longitudinal direction so as to permit the formation of the x-ray shadow image by line-by-line scanning of the radiation receiver with the radiation beam having a fan shape in a plane disposed perpendicularly to such longitudinal direction.
