摘要： According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray generating unit and an area detector. The reconstruction processing unit reconstructs first and second volume data including an overlap region. The extraction unit extracts first and second slice images from the first and the second volume data respectively. The calculation unit calculates the difference value between a sum of pixel values in the first slice images and the sum of pixel values in the second slice images. The determination unit determines whether the difference value falls within a predetermined range. The combining unit combines the first and second volume data and sets a pixel value in the overlap region to a pixel value of the first volume data, a pixel value of the second volume data, or a value derived from pixel values of the first and second volume data.

摘要： A control unit performs helical scanning an subject while moving a top along a direction substantially parallel to a body axis. An acquisition unit acquires projection data via an X-ray detector. A projection data extraction unit extracts a projection data set necessary for the reconstruction of image data associated with a predetermined slice position from the projection data. A weighting unit assigns a smaller weight to first projection data of the extracted projection data than a weight assigned to second projection data, the first projection data being acquired outside a predetermined period including a predetermined acquisition time of the projection data at the predetermined slice position, the second projection data being acquired within the predetermined period. A reconstruction processing unit reconstructs image data on the basis of the first projection data and the second projection data to which the weights are assigned.

摘要： A positron emission computed tomography apparatus according to an embodiment includes a detector, a coincidence counting information generating unit, and a body movement detecting unit. The detector detects annihilation radiation released from a subject. The coincidence counting information generating unit searches for sets of counting information, which counted a pair of annihilation radiations at substantially the same time, from a counting information list that is generated from output signals of the detector; generates a set of coincidence counting information for each retrieved set of counting information; and generates a time series list of coincidence counting information. Based on the time series list of coincidence counting information, the body movement detecting unit detects temporal changes in the body movement of the subject.
