Abstract

An x-ray computed tomography apparatus with electronic scanning of a ring-shaped anode has a solenoid coil for space-charge compensation which allows access to the anode. The solenoid coil is constructed of multiple parts so that a connector part can be released from a base part and the anode is thereby made accessible.
