The computed tomography (CT) scanner gantry rotates relative to the fixed substrate of the CT scanner. During gantry rotation, digital data is transmitted from a data source via a modulator, transmission channel, and demodulator to a data receiver between the gantry and the substrate. A predistortion device located upstream of the transmission channel predistorts the transmitted signal generated by the modulator from the data source through modulation according to a predistortion rule. Only the predistorted transmitted signal is transmitted to the transmission channel. Alternatively or additionally, a postdistortion device located downstream of the transmission channel postdistorts the signal transmitted via the transmission channel according to a postdistortion rule, and only the postdistorted signal is transmitted to the demodulator. The predistortion rule and / or postdistortion rule are repeatedly reset by a setting device during gantry rotation.
