Patent ID: 6973159

Claim:
A radiological imaging support method comprising the steps of: detecting a γ-ray emitted from a test object placed on a bed with a γ-ray detecting section placed around said bed and aligned in a longitudinal direction of said bed in a radiological imaging examination period for obtaining a detection signal of a γ-ray required for production of tomographic image information of said test object, said detection being performed by a radiological imaging support provider; moving an X-ray source in said longitudinal direction of said bed inside said γ-ray detecting section, when an X-ray is detected; detecting an X-ray passing through said test object in the radiological imaging examination period for detecting the γ-ray; producing tomographic image data of said test object using a detection signal of the γ-ray and a detection signal of the X-ray; and providing the produced tomographic image data to a medical institution by said radiological imaging support provider.
