An X-ray CT apparatus, wherein a drum type rotation frame is rotatably
supported by a fixed circular frame so as to surround an outer surface of
the drum type rotation frame through a plurality of bearings provided
between an inner surface of the fixing circular frame and an outer
surface of the drum type rotation frame, for example in ring-like
configuration. When the drum type rotation frame receives a large
centrifugal acceleration due to a high speed rotation, outside expansion
of the drum type rotation frame can be constrained due to both the
rigidity of the fixed frame and the rigidity of the plurality of bearings
provided on the outer surface of the rotation frame, thereby to maintain
the relative positions of the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector and
prevent deterioration of reconstructed images.
