The X-ray CT apparatus includes device for setting a plurality of X-ray tube voltages and sets imaging conditions used in the photography using the respective X-ray tube voltages in such a manner that respective image noise of tomographic images photographed at the X-ray tube voltages become substantially identical to one another. The setting of the imaging conditions is the setting of X-ray tube currents.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to utilize a distance, which is linearly moved for acceleration or deceleration, out of an overall distance linearly moved during a helical scan for the purpose of image reconstruction. Projection data is acquired even during acceleration or deceleration of linear movement made for a helical scan. The acquired projection data is utilized for image reconstruction. Moreover, during the acceleration of linear movement, while a tube current is being increased, projection data is acquired. During the deceleration of linear movement, while the tube current is being decreased, projection data is acquired.

    摘要: This invention provides an X-ray CT capable of presenting information of exposure to the operator by displaying X-ray dose information of each of regions of interest to be scanned by an X-ray CT apparatus, thereby encouraging reduction in exposure and optimization. X-ray dose information of each region to be scanned by a conventional scan (axial scan), a cine scan, a helical scan, or a variable-pitch helical scan of an X-ray CT apparatus is displayed so that the operator can recognize the X-ray dose information before acquisition of an image of a subject. The X-ray dose information can be predicated with higher precision and displayed by using a dose prediction value obtained by an interpolation value and an extrapolation value of the first or higher order on at least three or more kinds of phantom measurement values, not a simple prediction value such as a zero-th order interpolation value or a zero-th order extrapolation value obtained by using measurement values of two kinds of phantoms like in the present CTDI display.
