After that, the patient is arranged at a patient position.

A radio tomography imaging method includes calculating a conversion function based on transmission images picked up by using radiation emitted from first and second radiation sources. A position of the second radiation source when the radiation has been emitted coincides with a position of the first radiation source when the radiation has been emitted, and one of the first and second radiation sources emits the radiation when the other emits the radiation, picking up a plurality of first reconfiguration transmission images and a plurality of second reconfiguration transmission images by using a plurality of first reconfiguration radiations and a plurality of second reconfiguration radiations simultaneously emitted from the first radiation source and the second radiation source. The plurality of first and second reconfiguration transmission images are then corrected based on the conversion function. The plurality of corrected transmission images are reconfigured into three-dimensional data.

A radiotherapy apparatus controller includes: a movement collection section; a sensor control section configured to change a first time interval in which a second sensor measures a position of an irradiation area in the subject, based on the movement information; and an irradiation control section. The movement collection section collects movement information indicating a movement of a subject from a first sensor. The sensor control section changes a first time interval in which a second sensor measures a position of an irradiation area in the subject, based on the movement information. The irradiation control section controls a radiotherapy apparatus such that therapeutic radiation irradiated to the irradiation area is changed based on the position.

A radiation tomography method of the present invention includes: calculating a radiating timing, with reference to imaging timing correction data relating a plurality of gantry angles to a plurality of imaging timing correction amounts, on the basis of an imaging timing at which a radiation source supported by a rotating traveling gantry is arranged at a predetermined imaging angle and an imaging timing correction amount, of the plurality of imaging timing correction amounts, related to a gantry angle at which the traveling gantry is arranged at the imaging timing; and calculating, on the basis of an X-ray image imaged with a radiation radiated from the radiation source at the radiating timing, three-dimensional data of the X-ray image of a subject. According to the radiation tomography method, the X-ray image imaged with the further accurately arranged radiation can be obtained even in a case where the traveling gantry deflects depending on the gantry angle at which the traveling gantry is arranged, and thus the three-dimensional data can be obtained more accurately.

A radiotherapy apparatus controller includes: a portal image taking unit; a gantry position collector; a marker position calculator; and a marker position table generator. The portal image taking unit takes a first transmission image, in which a marker member positioned at a predetermined position is shown, by using therapeutic radiation and an imager. The gantry position collector collects a first gantry position at which a gantry is positioned when the first transmission image is taken from a sensor measuring a position at which the gantry is positioned, the gantry supporting the imager and a therapeutic radiation radiating device which radiates the therapeutic radiation. The marker position calculator calculates a first marker position at which the marker member is shown in the first transmission image. The marker position table generator updates a marker position table, which correlates a plurality of gantry positions with a plurality of marker positions, so that the first gantry position corresponds to the first marker position.
