A computed tomography device includes a holding frame and a ring mount, being movably mounted to the holding frame. The ring mount includes an x-ray detector, with a semiconductor material, operable in an equilibrium of statistical states of occupation. In an embodiment, the computed tomography device includes a first power supply, set up to supply power, in an operating state of the computed tomography device, to a first lot of components of the computed tomography device, the first lot of components being arranged on the ring mount for an image generation process; and a second power supply, separable from the first power supply in terms of circuitry, to supply power to a second lot of components of the computed tomography device in a resting state of the computed tomography device, the components of the second lot being set up to hold the semiconductor material in the equilibrium.
