Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of tomography imaging.
- the invention relates to an examination apparatus having a fly wheel electrode, to an electrode for being used in said examination apparatus, a method of examination of an object of interest, a computer-readable medium, a program element, and a computer chip.
- Future computed tomography systems will provide increased temporal resolution and larger detector coverage per rotation, and therefore will require increased instantaneous electrical power. Larger detectors will allow driving the tube with less total energy throughput per patient and the X-ray tube will be "on" for shorter scan times, but with increased instantaneous power. As a result, for rotating a computed tomography system, the main power supply and power transfer from the stationary gantry to the rotating part of the computed tomography system will become more elaborate and expensive when designed for a full peak power rating.
- the invention provides an examination apparatus, an electrode, a method of examining an object of interest with an examination apparatus, a computer-readable medium, a program element, and a computer chip with the features according to independent claims. It should be noted that the following described exemplary embodiments of the invention apply also for the method of examination of an object of interest, the computer-readable medium, the electrode, the program element, and the computer chip.

Therefore, the examination apparatus may be adapted for temporary storing of energy as kinetic energy of a rotating electrode being used as fly wheel, thereby smoothing the instantaneous level of transferred energy.

- the switch is mounted on the rotating part of the examination apparatus.
