Abstract
The present invention comprises a top platefor placing a cylindrical phantom, an X-ray tubethat generates X-rays, an X-ray detectorthat detects X-rays transmitted through the phantomplaced on a top plate, a supporting body drive partthat rotates the X-ray tubeand X-ray detector, a tomographic image data generating partthat generates tomographic image data on the phantombased on a results of detecting X-rays by the X-ray detector, a calculation processing partthat calculates displacement of the cylinder axis J of the phantomrelative to the center of rotation (center of scan) by the supporting body drive part, based on the tomographic image data, and the angle of gradient of the cylinder axis J relative to the normal direction (direction of slice) of the rotation plane of said rotation, and a monitorthat displays the calculated results.
