Claim 0:
1. A dental or medical CT imaging apparatus, comprising:
a first elongated frame part extending in a first direction and comprising a first end and a second end;
a support construction extending from the first elongated frame part in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction;
an X-ray source and an image detector mounted to the support construction which together form an X-ray imaging means;
a first driving mechanism arranged to move the imaging means, about an axis;
a second driving mechanism arranged to move the support construction in a direction substantially parallel with the first direction in which the first elongated frame part extends;
a patient support;
a control system;, characterized in that the apparatus comprises a second elongated frame part comprising a first end and a second end, wherein at the proximity of the first end of the first elongated frame part is arranged an articulated connection construction to mechanically connect the first and second elongated frame parts, to allow for tilting of the first elongated frame part about at least one tilt axis in relation to the second elongated frame part, the at least one tilt axis being orthogonal to both said first and second directions, and wherein at the proximity of the second end of the first and second elongated frame parts, is arranged a locking mechanism configured to enable connecting together and disconnecting the first and second elongated frame parts, at the proximity of the second ends of the first and second elongated frame parts.
