Image recording facility for a medical imaging system, lifting column and module system for producing a lifting column

An image recording facility for a medical imaging system, comprising:

• a radiation source configured to emit radiation;
• a patient table having a tabletop for supporting a patient during image recording;
• a radiation detector configured to detect the radiation, the radiation detector being in or under the tabletop;
• a first bearing apparatus of bearing apparatuses bearing the radiation source;
• and
• a second bearing apparatus of the bearing apparatuses bearing the patient table, wherein at least one of the bearing apparatuses is a lifting column, the lifting column including,
• a lifting carriage moveable along a longitudinal direction of the column by a column linear guide, the radiation source or the patient table being attached to the lifting carriage, the lifting carriage including a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel, and
• a traction mechanism attached to a base attachment point and to a top attachment point, the traction mechanism being around the first guide wheel and the second guide wheel, wherein at least one of the first guide wheel or the second guide wheel is rotationally drivable along the longitudinal direction of the lifting column by an actuator attached to the lifting carriage in order to move the lifting carriage.
