A PET gantry and a CT gantry are placed in parallel such that the CT
gantry becomes remoter to a common examination couch having a movable
couch table top board mounted with a subject person and the CT gantry is
made to be movable. The gantries are controlled by a control portion in a
console. At first, the CT gantry is moved in a left direction to separate
from the PET gantry so that whole body CT scan is carried out for the
subject person in a direction from the leg portion to the head portion.
Successively, the subject person is passed through a tunnel portion from
the leg portion to the head portion by moving the couch table top board
in a right direction in a state of considerably separating the CT gantry
from the PET gantry to thereby carry out whole body PET scan.
