    摘要: In order to execute a high-resolution reconstructible distance-driven back projection process and to generate a high-resolution tomographic image, an X-ray CT apparatus 1 determines the presence/absence of opposing data corresponding to each piece of target data on the basis of scanning conditions, and calculates a phase range where opposing data is present (Step 21). The X-ray CT apparatus 1 performs high-resolution conversion of a zero-insertion method on a phase range where opposing data is present, and performs high-resolution conversion using a data interpolation method on a phase range where no opposing data is present, thereby creating double sampled high-resolution projection data, and calculates a view weight (Step 22). The X-ray CT apparatus 1 performs a distance-driven high-resolution back projection process using high-resolution projection data and generates a reconstructed image (Step 23).

    摘要: With respect to projection data covering a plurality of sites, in order to create a medical image in which a uniform noise reduction effect is achieved for all sites within the projection data, an arithmetic device (5) determines one or more of proper subsets on the basis of scanning conditions and reconstruction conditions (step 2). Next, the arithmetic device (5) calculates a penalty-term weight for each proper subset on the basis of a detector output weight corresponding to a set element contained in the proper subset (step 3). Then, the arithmetic unit (5) performs an iterative approximation by using the penalty-term weight for each proper subset (step 4).
