With the object of realizing an X-ray CT apparatus which performs a
plurality of pieces of imaging small in resolution degradation too
simultaneously while suppressing an expansion of a data acquisition
section that receives an electric signal of an X-ray detector, such an
array that X-ray detectors in a channel direction are operated with the
two as one pair is made by first detector switching means of a switching
unit. This array moved by one X-ray detector in the channel direction is
alternately repeated in the row or channel direction. Therefore, even
when the number of receivers is small, data extending over a wide imaging
range can simultaneously be collected while the degradation of resolution
is being suppressed to a minor degree. By extension, imaging more
coincident with an operator-aimed image can be done by making the
switching use of imaging in high resolution.
