Computed tomography device with a body support apparatus including a board mounted pivotably about an axis

A computed tomography device comprising:

• a gantry having an opening;
• and
• a body support apparatus configured to support a body of a person, the body support apparatus including a board, the body support apparatus being arranged relative to the opening such that,
• a shoulder region of the body of the person rests on the board based on the board being in an examination position of the board relative to the gantry and a head of the person being in the opening along a system axis of the gantry,
• the body support apparatus having a pivoting apparatus, the board being mounted pivotably about a pivot axis relative to the gantry via the pivoting apparatus such that a first pivoting movement of the board about the pivot axis moves the board relative to the gantry from a preparation position of the board to the examination position of the board, the board extending in a planar manner between a bed-side edge of the board and a gantry-side edge of the board, and the gantry-side edge of the board being on the pivot axis.
