Abstract
In a computed tomography scanner provided with an emitter for emitting a beam of radiation through an object to be analyzed and a detector for acquiring radiographies of the object, the detector generates a synchronization signal corresponding to its state of activation for acquiring the radiographies, and the emitter is controlled via the synchronization signal in such a way that the beam of radiation will be emitted when the detector is already activated.
