1. A computed tomography (CT) system, comprising:
a) at least one X-ray source,
b) at least one patient table for supporting a patient,
c) at least one first X-ray detector, which is arranged permanently or at least temporarily in a beam path of X-rays from the at least one X-ray source through the at least one patient table,
d) at least one second X-ray detector, which is arranged permanently or at least temporarily in the beam path of the X-rays from the X-ray source through the at least one patient table, wherein the at least one second X-ray detector is physically integrated into the at least one patient table, and wherein the at least one second X-ray detector is configured as either an angled flat CT detector or as at least two flat CT detectors wherein the at least two flat CT detectors are arranged at an angle to one another,
e) at least one actuatable drive mechanism by which the first and/or the second X-ray detector are moveable from a position in the beam path of the X-rays from the at least one X-ray source through the at least one patient table to a position outside the beam path of the X-rays from the at least one X-ray source, and vice versa,
f) at least one electronic control device adapted for actuation of the at least one actuatable drive mechanism.
