    摘要: An X-ray CT apparatus is provided, having a function for deciding an X-ray imaging condition prior to scanning, the X-ray imaging condition allowing an acquisition of contrast to noise ratio appropriate for identifying a diagnostic object. Prior to the real scan, a three-dimensional model of an object is estimated from scanogram projection data of the object, a contrast to noise ratio enabling identification of the diagnostic object is calculated, based on the diagnostic object size set by an operator via an operating device when planning the scan, the three-dimensional model, and a standard imaging condition that is stored in a storage device. Then, an optimum irradiated X-ray condition (tube current and tube voltage) is calculated for achieving the contrast to noise ratio enabling identification. The X-ray condition being calculated is displayed in the form of information such as image SD value and exposure dose, under the calculated X-ray condition and under other condition.

    摘要: With respect to projection data covering a plurality of sites, in order to create a medical image in which a uniform noise reduction effect is achieved for all sites within the projection data, an arithmetic device (5) determines one or more of proper subsets on the basis of scanning conditions and reconstruction conditions (step 2). Next, the arithmetic device (5) calculates a penalty-term weight for each proper subset on the basis of a detector output weight corresponding to a set element contained in the proper subset (step 3). Then, the arithmetic unit (5) performs an iterative approximation by using the penalty-term weight for each proper subset (step 4).

    摘要: There is provided an X-ray CT apparatus that can control an irradiation X-ray dose in accordance with a displacement of an internal organ due to breathing of an examinee or the like with satisfying both of enhancement of image quality and lessening of exposed dose. In preparation processing before scan is started, an X-ray CT apparatus 1 generates a three-dimensional cross-section model from scanogram projection data of an examinee. An operator is made to input a site of interest, an assumed displacement amount of the site and a desired image quality index value. A scan planning unit 405d calculates an X-ray attenuation index from the three-dimensional cross-section model, and corrects the calculated X-ray attenuation index on the basis of the input site of interest, assumed displacement amount and image quality index value. The scan planning unit 405d further determines a tube current modulating pattern (irradiation X-ray dose modulating pattern) on the basis of the corrected X-ray attenuation index. When scanning is executed, an X-ray tube is controlled according to the determined irradiation X-ray dose modulating pattern, and controlled so as to obtain an optimum X-ray dose.
