The present invention is intended to improve imaging efficiency and maneuverability. A dynamic scanning initiation block initiates dynamic scanning in which a plurality of scans is sequentially performed with a time interval between adjoining scans. A dynamic scanning suspension block suspends the dynamic scanning initiated by the dynamic scanning initiation block. A dynamic scanning resumption block resumes the dynamic scanning suspended by the dynamic scanning suspension block.
