An apparatus for recording radiation image data of an object comprises a radiation source arrangement (3)provided for emitting radiation an object holder (5) arranged in the radiation path of the emitted radiation and provided for housing the object during the recordation of the radiation image data a detector arrangement (6) for detecting radiation which has interacted with the object a support structure (2), to which the radiation source and detector arrangements are secured and a scanning device (1) provided for moving either one of the support structure or the object holder with respect to the other one of the support structure or the object holder in a conical pendulum movement while the detector arrangement is provided for detecting radiation which has interacted with the object.
