Abstract
There are provided an X-ray CT system and an X-ray CT method in which a subject can be brought as close as possible to an X-ray source at all times while preventing interference of the subject with the X-ray source at the time of rotation, without confirmation by an operator by rotating a rotary stage before CT projection. A subject W placed on a rotary stageis captured by an optical camera, and information about a shape, a size and a position relative to a rotational axis R, of the subject W, are acquired by image processing using captured data. Then, interference between the subject W and an X-ray sourceis monitored on the basis of the information, or the rotary stageis automatically positioned at a location where the subject approaches most closely to the X-ray sourcewithout interference.
