X-ray tube current value supplied to the X-ray tube (21) are set by the X-ray automatic exposure function. Thereafter, when the X-ray tube current value set by the X-ray automatic exposure function is not within in the standard range of the X-ray tube current value settable at the X-ray tube, the X-ray tube current value at a portion not within the standard range are changed so as to be within the standard range, and the set value of helical pitch is changed so as to correspond to the ratio between the pre-changed x-ray tube current value and the post-changed X-ray tube current value.

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: The present invention provides an X-ray CT apparatus capable of obtaining each tomographic image indicative of X-ray tube voltage dependent information of a subject with the optimum image quality by less reduced exposure. 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. The X-ray tube currents are set based on geometrical characteristic amounts of the subject determined from each scout image in such a manner that the respective image noise of the tomographic images photographed at the plurality of X-ray tube voltages become substantially identical to one another.

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.

摘要: For the purpose of reconstructing a plurality of X-ray tomographic images having a plurality of practical slice thicknesses while reducing the number of X-ray detector arrays and simplifying configuration, X-rays generated by an X-ray tube 4 are emitted via a slit 15 of a collimator 6 toward a detector 8 disposed opposite to the X-ray tube 4; the length (width) of the collimator 6's slit 15 in the D1 direction and the position of the collimator 6 in the D1 direction are adjustable; the detector 8 is comprised of four X-ray detector arrays; and the widths of the two outer X-ray detector arrays in the D1 direction are larger than the widths of the two center X-ray detector arrays.
