PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily obtain X-ray intensity operating on a detector actually. SOLUTION: A tomograph has a calculation means 4 for calculating a coefficient sn(j) related to the elements of the detector of an intensity function S(x(i, j)) depending on the output signal of the detector and a coefficient qm(i) related to the X-ray radiator of an intensity function Q(y(i)) depending on the input value of the X-ray radiator from a detector output signal x(i, j) of at least one detector element 3 and at least one predetermined X-ray radiator input value y(i) of the X-ray radiator 1. The coefficients sn(j), qm(i) can be calculated by solving a simultaneous equation (4.2) including the coefficients sn(j), qm(i), the detector output signal x(i, j) and at least one X-ray radiator input value y(i). The simultaneous equation includes an equation for creating the relationship between the intensity function S(x(i, j)) depending on the detector output signal and the intensity function Q(y(i)) depending on the X-ray detector input value.
