PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus which improves the degree of freedom in setting of a partial focal surface and setting in an X-ray path in an imaging space and accurately teaches a range of desired precise imaging.SOLUTION: In a panoramic imaging apparatus, an X-ray tube arm includes a tube housing part 21A and a tube support part 21L supporting the tube housing part rotatably around a first axis AXs, a detector arm includes a detector housing part 22A housing a detector 24 and a detector supporting part 22L supporting the detector housing part rotatably around a second axis AXd, the detector housing part 22A rotates around the second axis AXd with respect to the detector supporting part 22L, the x-ray tube arm and the detector arm are coaxially rotated independently of each other, first, second and third pieces of drive means are controlled in accordance with the speed patterns for rotating independently of each other at the time of scan, the range of partial imaging can be taught with a laser beam from an arm 25 simulating actual irradiation of the X-ray, and the result is reflected on a four-axis control operation.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】撮影空間における部分的な焦点面の設定やX線パスの設定の自由度を上げ、且つ、的確に所望の精密撮影の範囲をティーチングする装置を提供する。【解決手段】パノラマ撮影装置において、X線管アームは、管収容部21Aと、第1の軸AXsの周りに回動可能に支持する管支持部21Lとを備え、検出器アームは、検出器24を収容した検出器収容部22Aと、第2の軸AXdの周りに回動可能に支持する検出器支持部22Lとを備え、検出器収容部22Aが検出器支持部22Lに対して第2の軸AXdの周りに回動し、X線管アーム及び検出器アームを互いに独立して同軸で回転させ、スキャン時には互いに独立して回動させる速度パターンに応じて第1、第2、及び第3の駆動手段が制御され、さらに、部分撮影の範囲をX線の実際の照射を模擬したアーム25からのレーザビームでティーチングでき、その結果を4軸制御動作に反映させる。【選択図】図7
