Hi! This is my first post here! I am an student of automation brand and this is the last term at university. I have just had a practical time at hospital and this is the first time I saw CT scanner. Now I want to graduate with a plan about it.
I have some document about it by searching but I don't have many about motor, interfacing with computer, circuit diagram etc.. about it . So if anyone here know about it ( e.g .pdf file ... ), could you share it to me, thanks you very much!
