Abstract:
This X-ray CT device uses iterative reconstruction to obtain a CT image with the desired noise reduction or X-ray reduction ratio. An iterative approximation reconstruction unit (136) is provided which, from measured projection data obtained by an X-ray detection unit of the X-ray CT device, iteratively reconstructs a CT image in a reconstruction range of a subject, and iteratively corrects the CT image such that calculated projection data, calculated through forward projection of a CT image, is the same as the difference between measured projection data detected by the X-raw detection unit and calculated projection data. The iterative approximation reconstruction unit is provided with a parameter determination unit (151), an iterative correction unit (152), and a table unit (153) which calculates in advance the relation between each parameter used in the iterative reconstruction, and noise reduction or X-ray reduction ratio in the CT image. The parameter determination unit (151) determines the parameters from a calculation table in the table unit (153) depending on the desired reduction ratio.
