PURPOSE: A respiration-synchronized image acquisition method for computed tomography (CT) scanner is provided to analyze a photographed CT image without external factors, thereby preventing the deterioration of accuracy of photographing caused by the external factor. CONSTITUTION: A respiration-synchronized image acquisition method for CT scanner comprises the steps of: rotating and moving a gantry; obtaining sequentially a plurality of CT images by an X-ray detector while the gantry rotates (S12); generating a difference image between each of the plurality of CT images and a previous CT image adjacent to each of the plurality of CT images (S13); outputting a respiration synchronization signal if similarity between the difference images is more than a predetermined reference value, and setting a CT image corresponding the difference image in response to the respiration synchronization signal as a respiration synchronization image (S15-S17); and completing the photographing if a plurality of respiration synchronization images for a subject is obtained at all predetermined angles (S18,S19).
