HOUSING FOR A TOMOGRAPH, COMPRISING A RECEIVING APERTURE AND COMPUTER TOMOGRAPH COMPRISING A HOUSING OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The invention relates to a housing (6) for a tomograph comprising a receiving aperture (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), the latter (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) being permeable to X-ray radiation in the exit direction (26), i.e. running from the interior of the housing to the exterior, and in an opposing entry direction (27) and being essentially impermeable to visible light in the entry direction (27) and/or exit direction (26). Preferably, the receiving aperture is provided with a tinted and/or mirrored coating, for example in the form of a separate layer, so that the patient (21) positioned in the scanning area (24) cannot see into the interior of the tomograph.
