Abstract
In an X-ray CT apparatus, an annular rotating body includes an X-ray tube and an opening portion accommodating a radiator that discharges heat from the X-ray tube and into which a bed can be inserted. A stand includes a frame disposed in a rear portion of the annular rotating body, and supports the annular rotating body to be rotatable about an axis. A cover which covers the annular rotating body and the stand includes an exhaust port. A cooling mechanism, disposed at a position away from a position of the exhaust port along a circumferential direction of the annular rotating body between an outer circumferential surface of the annular rotating body and cover, includes a fan disposed at the stand. A duct receives exhaust air from the fan at a rear position of the fan between the frame and cover, and leads from the fan to the exhaust port.
