Abstract
An X-ray CT apparatus which executes a first X-ray tomography on a sectional plane having a desirable thickness in an object to be examined () with the object interposed between an X-ray generator () and a two-dimensional X-ray image sensor () provided so as to hold their mutual facing positional relation, and also executes a second X-ray tomography for obtaining a CT image of the interested area of the object (). The first X-ray tomography is executed on the object () while the object () is held and fixed by an object holder () with the center of the orbit of the X-ray circulating radiation fixed, and while the object holder () is moved by an object mover () along the X-ray sectional image forming path according to the rotary angle of the X-ray circulating radiation.
