A computed tomography device includes a gantry having an X-ray source unit, an X-ray detector unit and a tunnel. The X-ray source unit is arranged longitudinally offset relative to the X-ray detector unit with respect to a longitudinal direction of the tunnel. The X-ray source unit has X-ray source points arranged in a ring-shaped manner about the tunnel and in at least one X-ray emitter, which has a fixed position with respect to the gantry. The X-ray detector unit has a detector surface embodied in a ring-shaped manner about the tunnel and has a fixed position with respect to the gantry. The X-ray detector unit has a scatter radiation shield, which has absorber elements made from X-ray-absorbing material. The absorber elements are embodied as absorber rings arranged in a ring-shaped manner about the tunnel and has a fixed position with respect to the gantry.
