Abstract
In an X-ray computed tomography apparatus for producing a sectional image of an object, an X-ray computed tomography gantry comprises an X-ray tube unit, an X-ray tube cooling unit, an X-ray detection unit, a signal amplifier unit, a mechanical control unit, and a power source unit. These units are fixed on the rotating base. These units are integrally fixed at portions thereof opposite to portions thereof fixed on the rotating base by a band.
Claims15
An X-ray computed tomography apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray computed tomography gantry for irradiating X-ray to an object to be inspected and for producing a sectional image signal relating to said object, said X-ray computed tomography gantry comprising a rotating base having a shape of disc, a plurality of units fixed on one side of said rotating base for processing X-ray, and fixing means for integrally fixing said plurality of units at portions thereof apart from portions thereof fixed on said rotating base;
- control means for controlling movements of said X-ray computed tomography gantry and for image processing said sectional image signal to display the image;
- and
