Abstract
Apparatus and method for obtaining computed tomography are disclosed. The computed tomography apparatus includes: an X-ray sensor and an X-ray generator disposed on both sides of a subject and facing each other; a first driving unit configured to move at least one of the X-ray sensor and the X-ray generator reciprocally in an angle range; and a second driving unit moving configured to move at least one of the X-ray sensor and the X-ray generator in a vertical direction of the object, simultaneously or alternately with the first driving unit. The computed tomography method includes a first driving step to move reciprocally at least one of an X-ray sensor and an X-ray generator, disposed on both sides of a subject and facing each other, in a range of an angle; and a second driving step to move at least one of the X-ray sensor and the X-ray generator, simultaneously or alternately with the first driving step, to control the at least one of the X-ray sensor and the X-ray generator to move in a vertical direction of the subject.
