Abstract
A tomography system includes a first radiation source and a first detector that is assigned to the first radiation source. The tomography system also includes a second radiation source and a second detector that is assigned to the second radiation source. The tomography system is prepared to perform a scan. In a first plane of rotation, the first detector is guided along a first circular segment-shaped path. In a second plane of rotation, the second detector is guided in synchrony along a second circular segment-shaped path. The tomography system is configured to obtain a first data record with the first detector and a second data record with the second detector. The first plane of rotation and the second plane of rotation are arranged at a distance from one another.

A tomography system comprising:
- a first radiation source and a first detector that is assigned to the first radiation source;
- a second radiation source and a second detector that is assigned to the second radiation source,
- wherein the tomography system is configured to perform a scan,
- wherein in a first plane of rotation, the first detector is guided along a first circular segment-shaped path, while in a second plane of rotation, the second detector is guided in synchrony along a second circular segment-shaped path,
- wherein the tomography system is configured to obtain a first data record with the first detector and a second data record with the second detector, and
- wherein the first plane of rotation and the second plane of rotation are arranged at a distance from one another.
A method for operating a tomography system, the method comprising:
- performing a scan, the performing of the scan comprising guiding a first detector in a first plane of rotation along a first circular segment-shaped path, and guiding a second detector in a second plane of rotation in synchrony along a second circular segment-shaped path, wherein the first plane of rotation and the second plane of rotation are arranged at a distance from one another;
- and
- obtaining a first data record with the first detector and obtaining a second data record with the second detector.
