Abstract
An X-ray CT scanner generates CT imaging information on an imaging region, and has a revolution arm positioning an X-ray generator and an X-ray detector to face one another with a subject therebetween, directing the revolution arm to move so X-ray beam radiation is offset from the center of the imaging region. An axial direction changing mechanism changes an imaging target from a first imaging region to a second imaging region in an axial direction of the imaging central axis, and a controller controls offset CT imaging, and an X-ray imaging information generator to generate first and second CT imaging information based on projection data of the first and second imaging region and to generate a stitch imaging information comprising the first and second CT imaging information.
