Abstract

Provided are an image acquisition device and an image acquisition method capable of acquiring the internal and external contours of a measured object with a high degree of accuracy. An image acquisition device 1 includes: a first X-ray source 10 that applies X-rays having a first focal point size; a first detector 20 that detects X-rays applied from the first X-ray source 10 and having passed through a measured object O; a first image generation means 30 that generates a first X-ray CT image on the basis of the X-rays detected by the first detector 20; a second X-ray source 40 that applies X-rays having a second focal point size smaller than the first focal point size; a second detector 50 that detects X-rays applied from the second X-ray source and having passed through the measured object O; a second image generation means 60 that generates a second X-ray CT image on the basis of the X-rays detected by the second detector 50; and an image correction means 70 that corrects the first X-ray CT image generated by the first image generation means 30 on the basis of the second X-ray CT image generated by the second image generation means 60.
