Abstract

See full text

In order to detect whether the center position of a subject is offset from a scan center and notify a human operator of the result of the detection, the subject center position is detected based on a projection profile of a parallel view at a view angle of 90.degree. (S5). If the distance between the subject center position and the scan center exceeds a predefined range (e.g., 50 cm) (S6), a warning is displayed on a CRT to prompt the operator to adjust the position of the subject and repeat imaging (S7).
