1. An X-ray computed tomography apparatus, comprising:
a gantry including an imaging system to image a subject;
a support member that supports a support plate that supports the subject in imaging;
a mount frame on which the support member and the gantry are mounted such that a relative positional relationship between the support member and the gantry is changeable in a longitudinal direction of the support plate;
a support stand that supports the mount frame in a manner that the mount frame is changeable in posture at least in-between a vertical direction and a horizontal direction;
the mount frame supports the gantry movably in a long axis direction of the mount frame; and
the support stand supports the mount frame so that the mount frame is changeable in posture at least in between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction by a rotation of the mount frame integrated with the gantry and the support member around a rotation axis.
