X-ray CT device

Abstract

To easily acquire data even if a communication failure occurs between the rotating part and the stationary part. [Solution] The X-ray CT apparatus according to the embodiment comprises a first storage unit, a second storage unit, and an outer cover for a fixed unit. The first storage unit is provided on the rotating unit and stores data output from the data acquisition unit. The second storage unit is detachably provided on the fixed unit and stores the data received from the first storage unit. The outer cover for the fixed unit has an opening into which the second storage unit is attached.
