X-ray computed tomography apparatus, a top-plate control apparatus, and a top-plate control method

摘要

According to embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a gantry, bed, input interface circuitry, and control circuitry. The gantry includes an X-ray tube generating X-rays and an X-ray detector detecting the X-rays transmitted through a subject. The bed arranged at a front surface side of the gantry includes a top plate moving toward an opening of the gantry. The input interface circuitry inputs an imaging plan concerning imaging of the subject. The control circuitry controls the bed to limit movement of the top plate when the input interface circuitry inputs an imaging plan to image part of the subject inserted from a back surface side of the gantry into the opening.
