Abstract: An information processing method controls a CT scanner such that the method includes, but is not limited to, determining an X-ray irradiation period from an electrocardiogram acquired from an electrocardiography device attached to a living object to be imaged, by processing the electrocardiogram at multiple different cardiac phases; performing, by controlling a CT gantry including and rotatably supporting an X-ray source and an X-ray detector, a diagnostic CT scan in the determined X-ray irradiation period, of at least a part of the heart region, to obtain a CT image; and causing a display unit to display the obtained CT image. The method can be performed at least by an information processing apparatus including processing circuitry and/or computer instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for performing the method.
