1. A head restraint attached on a top of a bed of one of a medical image diagnosis apparatus or a medical treatment apparatus, the head restraint comprising:

a headrest portion configured to allow a head of an object to be placed directly thereon, a bottom of the headrest portion being a flat surface to be placed on top of a top surface of the bed, with the object being placed on the top of the bed, the headrest portion including a substantially vertical section and a substantially horizontal section; and

an arm up holder including at least one handle for the object to hold, which handle is positioned on the top of the bed and in direct contact with the vertical section of the headrest portion to extend out transverse from both the vertical and horizontal sections of the headrest portion,

and the at least one handle is positioned no lower than a bottom of the headrest portion and wherein the vertical section has opposing side surfaces defining a width and each of the at least one handle has a length greater than the width of the vertical section, and wherein each of the at least one handle extends outward from each of said opposing side surfaces.

2. The restraint according to claim 1 , wherein the arm up holder is formed at a position where an elbow of the object is located above a shoulder of the object when the object placed on the top of the bed holds the at least one handle.

3. The restraint according to claim 1 , wherein the arm up holder comprises

a hole formed at a position corresponding to a position near a vertex of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and

the at least one handle is inserted into the hole.

4. The restraint according to claim 1 , wherein the arm up holder comprises

a hole formed at a position corresponding to a position near a temple of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and

the at least one handle is inserted into the hole.

5. The restraint according to claim 1 , wherein the arm up holder comprises

a plurality of holes which are formed at positions corresponding to a position near a vertex of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and differ in at least one of a height from the top of the bed and a distance from the vertex of the head of the object, and

the at least one handle is inserted into one of the plurality of holes.

6. The restraint according to claim 1 , wherein the arm up holder comprises

a plurality of holes which are formed at positions corresponding to a position near a temple of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and differ in at least one of a height from the top of the bed and a distance from a vertex of the head of the object, and

the at least one handle is inserted into one of the plurality of holes.

7. The restraint according to claim 1 , the arm up holder is detachable from the headrest portion.

8. A medical bed system used for one of a medical image diagnosis apparatus or a medical treatment apparatus, the system comprising:

a bed which includes a top configured to allow an object to be placed thereon;

a headrest portion configured to allow a head of an object to be placed directly thereon, a bottom of the headrest portion being a flat surface to be placed on top of a top surface of the bed, with the object being placed on the top of the bed, the headrest portion including a substantially vertical section and a substantially horizontal section; and

at least one handle for the object to hold, which handle is positioned on the top of the bed and in direct contact with the vertical section of the headrest portion to extend out transverse from both the vertical and horizontal sections of the headrest portion,

and the at least one handle is positioned no lower than a bottom of the headrest portion and wherein the vertical section has opposing side surfaces defining a width and each of the at least one handle has a length greater than the width of the vertical section, and wherein each of the at least one handle extends outward from each of said opposing side surfaces.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one handle is formed at a position where an elbow of the object is located above a shoulder of the object when the object placed on the top holds the at least one handle.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the headrest portion comprises

a hole formed at a position corresponding to a position near a vertex of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and

the at least one handle is inserted into the hole.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the headrest portion comprises

a hole formed at a position corresponding to a position near a temple of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and

the at least one handle is inserted into the hole.

12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein headrest portion comprises

a plurality of holes which are formed at positions corresponding to a position near a vertex of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and differ in at least one of a height from the top and a distance from the vertex of the head of the object, and

the at least one handle is inserted into one of the plurality of holes.

13. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the headrest portion comprises

a plurality of holes which are formed at positions corresponding to a position near a temple of the head of the object when the head of the object is placed on the headrest portion, and differ in at least one of a height from the top and a distance from a vertex of the head of the object, and
