Abstract: An X-ray CT apparatus according to the embodiment executes an imaging according to an imaging protocol including one or more image elements corresponding to an imaging type. The X-ray CT apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector and processing circuitry. The X-ray source radiates an X-ray. The X-ray detector detects the X-ray. The processing circuitry merges, when first and second imaging protocols are set, first and second imaging elements, respectively included in the first and second imaging protocols, corresponding to same imaging type into a single third imaging element, thereby generating a third imaging protocol including the third imaging element.

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 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.
