ABSTRACT:
In an X-ray computerized tomographic apparatus for utilizing a Scanographic scanning operation prior to a CT scanning operation, it is desirable to designate a plurality of CT scanning portions of the patient by using a horizontal line on a display screen where intervals between successive lines are freely adjustable in accordance with the portions of the patient's body which will receive the CT scanning. To this end, there is provided a converting means for converting the X-ray data from a detector array into actual position data for the patient who will be scanned in the CT mode.
