Abstract: The present invention provides a detector which suppress the crosstalk between detector cells while improving the acquisition efficiency of X-ray radiation. The detector includes a plurality of detector cells, arranged along a detection plane of X-ray, in which each detector cell has a scintillator unit made of a scintillator, and a photodiode for transduce the light incoming from the scintillator unit into electric signals. The scintillator units are partitioned each from another by the border, which has a groove extending in the channel and row directions. A scintillator is provided in some part of the border in the incident X-ray direction.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: For the purpose of determining an offset of the position of an X-ray tube from a prespecified position, and correcting axially projected data D1 and pixel projection data D2 based on the determined offset, proper axially projected data D1 can be obtained by an X-ray focal spot 2102 and a detector 2103 by determining axially projected data D1 at a point 2104 using projection data D0 obtained by a channel that detects an X-ray emitted from the X-ray focal spot 2102 and passing through the point 2104, and shifting the determined axially projected data D1 by a distance DIS1 in the (+)-direction of the x-axis.
