A radiological imaging device including a gantry defining an analysis zone in which at least a part of the patient is placed, a source suitable to emit radiation, and a detector arranged to receive the radiation and to generate data signals based on the radiation received. The device also includes a horizontal gantry rotation apparatus having a ring to which the source and the detector are mounted and a rotational bearing member configured to rotate the ring. Also included is a control unit adapted to acquire an image from data signals received from the detector while the horizontal gantry rotation apparatus rotates the ring to scan the patient. The radiological imaging device can include at least one of a vertical gantry rotation apparatus, a lifter system, a roller support system, a cooling system, a source tilting device, and a translational apparatus configured to translation a position of the detector.
