Image quality deterioration due to a drop in resolution or lowering of S / N ratio while reducing the amount of data stored during a 3D data acquisition process, and shortening the time from the start of an examination to the end of imaging. The method and apparatus of this invention perform, in parallel with the 3D data acquisition process, addition of sinograms, reading of subsets of the sinograms having been added, and image reconstruction. Consequently, the amount of data stored is reduced, and the time from the start of an examination to the end of imaging is shortened. At the same time, since 3D iterative reconstruction is not accompanied by conversion from 3D data to 2D data, a drop in resolution due to errors occurring with the conversion from 3D data to 2D data is avoided. The 3D iterative reconstruction can directly incorporate processes such as an attenuation correction process. It is thus possible to avoid also a lowering of S / N ratio resulting from an indirect incorporation of such processes.

An image forming apparatus has a latent image carrier on which a latent image is formed. A developer carrier conveys a one-component non-magnetic developer and develops the latent image either in close proximity to or in contact with the latent image carrier. A voltage application unit applies an AC-superimposed bias voltage to the developer carrier. A regulating member abuts against the developer carrier to regulate the thickness of the developer layer on the developer carrier. The regulating member has a semiconductive member provided at the distal end thereof to produce an electric potential difference between the semiconductive member and the developer carrier, to which the AC-superimposed bias voltage is applied, when regulating the thickness of the developer layer on the developer carrier, thereby forming a line-shaped uneven conveying surface. Thus, the occurrence of banding and longitudinal unevenness and stripes is prevented, and fogging and scattering are also prevented. Further, the occurrence of filming is prevented, thereby allowing formation of a uniform image free from density unevenness.

When a semiconductor wafer is preheated by halogen lamps, the temperature of a peripheral portion of the semiconductor wafer is lower than that of a central portion thereof. A laser light emitting part disposed immediately under the center of the semiconductor wafer is rotated about the center line of the semiconductor wafer, while laser light is directed from the laser light emitting part toward the peripheral portion of the semiconductor wafer. Thus, the irradiation spot of the laser light exiting the laser light emitting part swirls around along the peripheral portion of the back surface of the semiconductor wafer so as to draw a circular trajectory. As a result, the entire peripheral portion of the semiconductor wafer at a relatively low temperature is uniformly heated. This achieves a uniform in-plane temperature distribution of the semiconductor wafer.
