ABSTRACT:
A computed tomograph apparatus for obtaining tomograms of a subject under examination comprises a supporting table for supporting the subject, and on which a tomogram image pick-up area is defined. The apparatus further comprises an X-ray source for radiating X-rays onto the image pick-up area. X-rays emitted from the X-ray source proceed along a slice plane intersecting with the image pick-up area. A principal detector is provided within the slice plane, and detects X-rays transmitted linearly.
