Abstract:
1. An X-ray computer tomograph for examining a component by means of X-ray computer tomography, comprising: a radiation source detector unit, comprising a radiation source for producing X-radiation with a three-dimensional radiation geometry, and a planar detector for detecting the X-radiation; a component carrier for positioning a component to be examined between the radiation source and the planar detector; and a computing device for evaluating the detected X-radiation, wherein the radiation source detector unit and the component carrier have at least two degrees of freedom of movement relative to one another in such a way that at least one trajectory spanning a three-dimensional space is producible, said computing device having a reconstruction unit for reconstructing a three-dimensional X-ray image of the component from the X-radiation detected along the at least one trajectory, and said computing device having a geometry detection unit for determining dimensional measurement data of the component from the three-dimensional X-ray image, said component carrier being displaceable along a longitudinal axis for the geometric measurement of the component, said longitudinal axis extending from said radiation source to said planar detector, said planar detector being pivotable about a pivot axis extending transverse thereto, said pivot axis extending from said radiation source to said planar detector.
