Application 2486/DEL/2004 published 2006-11-17, filed 2004-12-14
An object of the present invention is to provide a radiation tomography system that makes it easy to check or adjust a control value to be used to control a radiation exposure and thus guarantees improved maneuverabilidty. The radiation tomography system(1) comprises a radiation source(21) and a radiation detector (23)opposed to the radiation source(21)with a subject between them. The radiation tomography system (1) further comprises: a scanner (2) that scans a subject by moving the radiation source (21)and radiation detector (23) while rotating them about the subject, a calculator (31)that calculates a control value with which an exposure of a radiation emanating from the radiation source (21) is controlled; and a display (33)on which at least one of calculated control values associated with positions in the direction of a body axis linking the subjec"s head and the subject"s tiptoe is displayed in relation to the respective pieces of positional information on the subject.
