<p>[PROBLEMS] To eliminate the pain of an examinee. A very high diagnosing accuracy is realized with a minimum exposure dose. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A breast inspection system comprising a CT device (3) provided with a suction cups (1) each having on the inner surface thereof a suction recess (4) sucked to the chest of the examinee (20) and sucking a breast (21) in a non-clamping state, a sucker (2) for sucking a breast (21) to the suction recess (4) of a suction cup (1), and a housing unit (5) capable of placing suction cups (1) thereinside, wherein suction cups (1) are placed in the housing unit (5), and breasts (21) are irradiated with radiation ray by the CT device (3) to pick up the tomographic images of the breasts (21). The inspection system uses a sucker (2) to suck breasts (21) into the suction recesses (4) to allow them to protrude from the chest, and places the protruding breasts (21) in the housing unit (5) via suction cups (1). The CT device (3) applies radiation ray into a plane orthogonal to the protruding direction of the breasts (21), and detects the coronal-section images of the breasts (21) with a scanning direction set to the protruding direction of the breasts (21).</p> |
