ABSTRACT:
A radiographic image forming apparatus having a radiation source for irradiating conical radiation to a test body; a stimulable phosphor plate, arranged opposite to the radiation source with the test body sandwiched in-between for recording an intensity of radiation having passed through the test body; a rotation/displacement section for relatively rotating and displacing the radiation source with respect to the test body, by placing the test body at a rotation center; a radiation controller for controlling a radiation from the radiation source; a recording section for recording at least one sinogram into the stimulable phosphor plate by the radiation; a reading section for reading a sinogram recorded by the recording section; and an image processing section for forming a two-dimensional or three-dimensional tomographic image by reconstructing a sinogram read by the reading section.
