Abstract
According to the present invention, there is provided an image data detecting apparatus for X-ray CT comprising a scanning apparatus including an X-ray tube for emitting X-rays while rotating about a patient, a detector for detecting X rays emitted by the X-ray tube and passing through the patient, and a memory unit for storing transmission X-ray data detected by the detector, and a transmitting/receiving unit for transmitting the transmission X-ray data stored in the memory unit together with an identification number for identifying the image data detecting apparatus. The image data detecting apparatus of the present invention can be set solely in an inspection site, thereby making it possible to save the space for inspection.
