Abstract

One embodiment, control circuitry executes at least one of a start operation and a stop operation. For a start operation, the control circuitry accelerates a top support portion along a forward direction before moving a top when starting to move an object in a scan after positioning the top support portion at a moving start position decided based on a scan condition and accelerates the top to a set speed along the forward direction after a first predetermined time since start of acceleration control on the top support portion. For a stop operation, the control circuitry accelerates the top support portion along the forward direction when decelerating the top and stops the top after a second predetermined time since start of acceleration control on the top support portion.
