    Abstract: A photon counting computed tomography (CT) apparatus according to an embodiment includes a photon counting detector and processing circuitry. The photon counting detector detects X-ray photons to acquire energy information. The processing circuitry acquires at least one piece of information out of information on an imaging mode, information on a site to be imaged, and information on a medical device. The processing circuitry, based on the acquired information, determines at least one condition out of a condition on an energy band of data collected by the photon counting detector and a condition on an energy band for data for use in reconstruction processing out of the data collected by the photon counting detector.

    Abstract: A medical image diagnosis apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains a first border line and a second border line that define a scanning range of a scan of a subject to obtain a medical image of the subject, by analyzing a subject image obtained by capturing the subject; obtains fixed scanning-range information for imaging the subject; sets the scanning range based on the fixed scanning-range information and either of the first border line and the second border line; and outputs the set scanning range for display on a monitor.

    Abstract: A medical image diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector, an input interface, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to cause a protocol selecting screen to be displayed, which includes a first display region used for displaying a plurality of imaging protocols each including at least one scan and a second display region used for displaying a plurality of icons representing a plurality of scans selected from the imaging protocols and being arranged in a sequential order of execution. When a scan condition of the plurality of scans in the second display region is revised, the processing circuitry is configured to change the display the plurality of icons in accordance with the revised scan condition. The processing circuitry is configured to cause the protocol selecting screen to transition to a scan executing screen including the second display region and being used for executing the plurality of scans as one imaging protocol in the sequential order corresponding to the plurality of icons displayed in the second display region.

    Abstract: An evaluation apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. On the basis of performance information related to performance of a medical diagnostic imaging device and numerical information related to at least one evaluation item, the processing circuitry makes an evaluation of a first imaging plan used by the medical diagnostic imaging device, the numerical information conforming to a guideline related to imaging plans. On the basis of a result of the evaluation, the processing circuitry generates, from the first imaging plan, a second imaging plan conforming to the guideline. The processing circuitry outputs the second imaging plan.
