ABSTRACT:
To make it possible to decrease an X-ray exposure on an operator and to obtain an image of high quality upon fluoroscopy operation an X-ray tube is rotated to acquire data, an X-ray radiation dose is set to "0" in a predetermined angular range including an angle at which the alignment of the X-ray tube with the operator's hand is brought about, and the X-ray radiation dose is set to an ordinary one at an angle in a range other than that angular range. The predetermined angular range is established using a light beam which enables to see what part of the field has no X-ray radiation exposure, thereby increasing his safety.
