Abstract
A computed tomography (CT) apparatus includes a gantry with a first rotation device and a second rotation device, a plurality of light sources configured to emit X-rays to a subject, a detector configured to detect X-rays passing through the subject, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to rotate the first rotation device in a first rotation direction by an angle of rotation determined based on a total number of the plurality of light sources, emit X-rays to the subject by using at least one of the plurality of light sources and detect X-rays passing through the subject during the rotation of the first rotation device in the first rotation direction, and rotate the first rotation device by the determined angle of rotation in a second rotation direction.
