- the screw 88 is fastened to one end portion of the spacer member 87 with the first circuit board 32 interposed, and the screw 89 is fastened to the other end portion of the spacer member 88 with the wall portion 31 a interposed.
- the X-ray tube 21 is pressed against the first circuit board 32 by the inner surface of the wall 31a in addition to being pressed against the inner surface of the wall 31a by the first circuit board 32. It will be. Therefore, the X-ray tube 21 is more firmly sandwiched between the first circuit board 32 and the inner surface of the wall portion 31 a, and the X-ray tube 21 can be more stably fixed in the housing 31.
- the spacer member in the housing is not necessarily used.
- a protrusion that protrudes into the housing 31 may be provided on the lid 31c itself, and the first circuit board 32 may be pressed by the protrusion.
