    摘要: In order to provide a projection data correction method and apparatus that prevents artifact generation in the direction which provides a low count of penetrating radiation, and a radiation tomographic imaging method employing such a projection data correction method and a radiation tomographic imaging apparatus comprising the projection data correction apparatus, projection data Projij is individually corrected by a weighted addition (604, 606, 608) with an average value (602) containing the proximate data. The weight SGij of the projection data is decreased as the count of the penetrating radiation from which the projection data is derived becomes smaller.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to acquire transmitted X-ray data by irradiating X-rays of appropriate doses determined for the portions of a section containing the major axis and the portions thereof containing the minor axis respectively. An X-ray irradiating/detecting device consists mainly of an X-ray irradiator that includes an X-ray tube and irradiates a fan-shaped X-ray beam, and an X-ray detector that has a plurality of X-ray detecting elements arrayed in a direction in which the fan-shaped X-ray beam spreads and that is opposed to the X-ray irradiator with an object of imaging between them. The X-ray irradiating/detecting device is rotated about the object in order to acquire transmission X-ray data stemming from a plurality of views. At this time, the dose of the X-ray beam is differentiated between predetermined angular ranges of a section of the object shaped like an oval, which extend with the minor axis of the oval section as a centerline, and the other angular ranges.
