The present invention provides a CT scanning system having a patient table and a gantry comprising an x-ray source configured to irradiate an x-ray beam while at least partly rotating about an object being arranged on the patient table in order to be scanned. The gantry further comprises an x-ray detector configured to receive x-rays penetrating through the object to be scanned and further configured to provide output signals representative of the received x-rays. The CT scanning system further comprises an x-ray cabinet comprising x-ray shielding material. It is preferred that the x-ray cabinet is fully surrounding the gantry. The x-ray cabinet may at least partly surround the patient table. However, it is preferred that the x-ray cabinet is fully surrounding the patient table. Thus, the patient table may be configured to be fully inserted in the x-ray cabinet, whereby the x-ray cabinet is fully surrounding the patient table. The x-ray cabinet may have an end part with a patient opening allowing the introduction of a patient into the x-ray cabinet through said opening, and the CT scanning system may further comprise a closure part or door for providing an x-ray shielding closure of the patient opening at the first end part. The x-ray cabinet may be formed by at least two parts.
