Abstract
In a radiation tomography imaging device, the imaging range calculation elementcalculates a possible imaging range of the FPDbased on the imaging distance G, the irradiation swing angle θ and the movable range SP of the X-ray tube. The operator can preliminarily calculate the possible imaging range of the radiation detection means prior to the X-ray tomography imaging because the imaging distance, the irradiation swing angle, and the movable range SP are all predetermined parameters. The possible imaging range FP of the FPDis the positional range of the FPDin which the X-ray tubecan acquire the X-ray tomography image without moving the X-ray tubeto the outside of movable range. Therefore, the radiation tomography imaging can start the X-ray tomography by assuredly moving the FPDwithin the possible imaging range by referring to the preliminarily calculated possible imaging range of the FPD. As results, an incident in which the X-ray tubemoves out of the movable range SP and interferes the floor surface W and so forth can be avoided, so that the X-ray tomography imaging can be performed adequately.
