    摘要: Techniques are provided that enable displaying of medical images that depict cyclic motions in the subject. An X-ray CT system scans, with X-rays, the subject whose targeted region is experiencing a cyclic motion and acquires detection data. This X-ray CT system comprises a reconstruction processor, a moving image creator, and a display controller. The reconstruction processor generates a plurality of sets of volumetric data based on a plurality of sets of detection data that have been acquired during one cycle of the cyclic motion. The moving-image creator creates a moving image that shows the cyclic motion, on the basis of at least a part of the plural sets of volumetric data. The display controller superposes the moving image over an image based on the volumetric data and displays these images on the display unit.

    摘要: A medical imaging apparatus includes a reconstruction unit, a ROI setting unit, and a controller. The reconstruction unit receives projection data that is based on radiation detected by a detector, divides the projection data into a plurality of subsets, and apply a reconstruction process to the subsets by successive approximation to successively generate images. The ROI setting unit sets a ROI in the images. The controller obtains a variation value indicating a change in image quality from the images, and, when the variation value reaches a predetermined value, instructs the reconstruction unit on a new subset count less than the number of the subsets to sequentially reconstruct subsets as many as the new subset count into an image. The reconstruction unit assigns a weight to the projection data based on the ROI, and divides the projection data into the subsets based on the weight.
