- the radiation source and the detector array can be rotated in the circumferential direction around the opening.
- the opening is configured so that a patient who is supine on the bed is inserted together with the bed.
- a tomographic image is obtained with such a CT scanning apparatus
- a patient who is lying on the bed by driving the bed is inserted into the opening of the gantry, and a predetermined region to be imaged is located in the X-ray exposure field. Like that. Then, while rotating the X-ray source and the detector array, X-rays are emitted from different directions, and the X-ray transmitted through the human body is detected by the detector array.
- the data detected in this way is processed in an integrated manner by a computer, one tomographic image is obtained.
- the bed is driven to move the region to be imaged little by little, and a plurality of tomographic images are captured. If it does so, the site
- the patient is careful not to move on the bed, but the patient moves due to a slight movement, that is, a body movement due to a breathing movement or heartbeat. If the patient moves due to body movement, a shift occurs between a plurality of tomographic images to be photographed, so that a three-dimensional tomographic image cannot be obtained clearly. If it does so, a tumor cannot be overlooked in a diagnosis, or the position of a tumor cannot be pinpointed correctly.
- Patent Document 1 describes a CT scan device that obtains a heart beat synchronization signal by an electrocardiogram detection sensor affixed to a patient's chest and images a tomographic image of the heart.

- the breathing operation is not taken into consideration, if a tomographic image of a part other than the heart is captured, the tomographic image becomes blurred due to the breathing motion. It is necessary to detect a respiratory action and transmit a synchronization signal to the tomography apparatus.

- Patent Document 2 describes a sheet-like piezoelectric sensor that is provided on a bed on which a patient lies, and that can detect body movements due to breathing motion by contacting the patient's back.
- the piezoelectric sensor described in Patent Document 2 is a sensor having a so-called laminated structure in which a pressure detection element made of a PVDF film or an aluminum nitride thin film, that is, a sensor element is sandwiched between thin resin sheets, Body movement due to movement can be detected as a change in voltage.
- the marker when the marker is affixed to the patient's chest, it is necessary to affix the marker at a position that does not hinder the X-ray exposure and can ensure the stability of the marker. Furthermore, other problems arise because the marker is applied to the chest. That is, during tomographic imaging, the patient cannot wear a cold blanket, and when performing radiotherapy, the marker interferes with radiation irradiation. There is also a problem with the measurement method. In the measuring rod, the fixing tool for fixing the fulcrum hinders X-ray exposure, and the entire measuring rod may be reflected in the image. Furthermore, since the measuring rod protrudes to the outside, there is also a problem that it hits the gantry of the CT scanning device.
