Abstract

A medical imaging equipment is described, including a radiation source for emitting measuring radiation, a receiver for receiving the measuring radiation, and a measuring region in which an object to be measured is placed, and which is situated in the beam path of the measuring radiation The receiver comprises a support which can be pivoted about a rotational axis and is adapted to mount at least two receiving devices. The receiving surfaces may be disposed alternately into a measuring position. A surface of the receiving device is parallel to the rotational axis of the support, and the rotational axis of the support is substantially perpendicular to the beam path of the measuring radiation.
