Abstract
Purpose: Although Computerized Tomography is one of the most useful diagnosis devices and Frequency of use by all kind of patient is higher than other device, it can be hardly to find out adequate data to planning of Computerized Tomography Unit. So questions have been raised about how to organize the unit. Methods: In order to suggest architectural guideline of Computerized Tomography Unit, expert interview, field survey and analysis to the floor plan have been conducted in this article. The area calculation was based on center line. Results: This article suggests a number of the guideline and the example of the planning which contains how to design Computerized Tomography Unit. Especially, in the case of the example on the planning, main points of the guideline is reflected. Implications: The result of this survey would be useful as a reference when the architect tries to design Computerized Tomography unit.
