In a device for capturing high energy radiation emitted from a radiation
source within an examination object with a detector, the detector is
arranged on a carriage mechanism that is mounted in a rotatable fashion
around the examination object. The carriage mechanism is supported on a
stand unit via a retaining mechanism, with an amplifier device being
provided that amplifies the signals coming from the detector that are fed
to the amplifier device via a signal guidance device. A data processing
device is provided to process the amplified signals. By arranging the
amplifier device and/or the data processing device essentially within the
stand unit, a device is provided which can be flexibly utilized and which
increases the patient's comfort during an examination.
