<p>In an open-type PET scanner including a plurality of detector rings having multiple rings arrayed in the body axis direction, radiation measurement is performed while at least one detector ring is relatively moved with respect to a subject in the body axis direction, thereby dispersing simultaneous radiation in an open region to suppress a local reduction in sensitivity. The detector rings are optimized in constitution, moving direction and/or moving speed, thus making it possible to reduce the variation of distribution of sensitivity and expand a clearance in the open region and a field-of-view in the body axis direction.</p> |
