Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 21:
22. A method of acquiring computer-tomography (CT) imaging data, comprising:
while rotating a rotating side of a CT imaging apparatus around an object, generating CT imaging data for multiple images of the object by a plurality of detector elements on the rotating side of a CT imaging apparatus;
providing, at the rotating side, a plurality of non-volatile memories that are in communication with the detector elements at the rotating side;
simultaneously storing, in each non-volatile memory of the plurality of non-volatile memories, the CT imaging data for the multiple images from a respective one or more of the plurality of detector elements;
combining the CT imaging data stored in the plurality of non-volatile memories into aggregated imaging data at the rotating side; and
transmitting the aggregated CT imaging data across a slip ring of the CT imaging apparatus to a stationary side of the CT imaging apparatus.
