Abstract
An X-ray CT apparatus comprises an X-ray tube for irradiating X-ray onto a target object, a xenon gas type detector for detecting the X-ray passing through the target object and for outputting an analog electric signal corresponding to an amount of the X-ray, a data acquisition system, a substrate for supporting the detector and the data acquisition system, which has a high rigidity and a surface where a wiring portion for transmitting an analog signal outputted from the detector to the data acquisition system is formed, and a rotation mechanism for rotating the X-ray source and the substrate for supporting the detector and the data acquisition system around the body axis of the target object as the rotation center.
