Abstract

In an X-ray CT scanner where the stand cantilever-supports the scanner, the objective is to reduce noise while improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the scanner. [Solution] The X-ray CT apparatus according to this embodiment comprises a scanner and a stand. The scanner has a rotating frame that supports the imaging system, a fixed frame that covers the rotating frame and supports the rotating frame so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis, and a scanner cover that covers the rotating frame and the fixed frame. The stand supports the scanner so as to be movable in the vertical direction. The scanner cover has an exhaust port and a plurality of intake ports. The intake efficiency of each of the plurality of intake ports is determined based on the shape of the fixed frame and the rotation speed and rotation direction of the rotating frame.
