Abstract
A control device includes a control unit and a determination unit. The control unit controls an operation of radiation tubes such that radiation is emitted at irradiation positions whose number is smaller than the total number of irradiatable positions preset so as to correspond to irradiation angles. The determination unit determines whether or not the radiation needs to be additionally emitted at the irradiatable positions different from the irradiation positions in order to obtain the tomographic image with an image quality level required for diagnosis, on the basis of a determination image obtained by the emission of the radiation at the irradiation positions.
