    • The present invention aims to obtain a tomographic image similar in image quality to a tomographic image obtained by executing a scan at X-ray tube current value set by an X-ray automatic exposure function even when the X-ray tube current value set by the X-ray automatic exposure function are not within a standard range of the X-ray tube current values settable at the X-ray tube (21). X-ray tube current value supplied to the X-ray tube (21) are set by the X-ray automatic exposure function. Thereafter, when the X-ray tube current value set by the X-ray automatic exposure function is not within in the standard range of the X-ray tube current value settable at the X-ray tube, the X-ray tube current value at a portion not within the standard range are changed so as to be within the standard range, and the set value of helical pitch is changed so as to correspond to the ratio between the pre-changed x-ray tube current value and the post-changed X-ray tube current value.

    • For the purpose of determining a radiation dose without excess or insufficiency with respect to an allowed value of image noise in performing a helical scan by a CT apparatus comprising a multi-detector, a method comprises the steps of: selecting an image thickness of an X-ray tomographic image to be produced by a helical scan by an X-ray CT apparatus comprising a multi-detector (Step ST1); provisionally determining an X-ray dose in obtaining the X-ray tomographic image having the image thickness by single-slice CT using a single-slice CT radiation dose determining algorithm (Step ST2); selecting a scan protocol (Step ST3); reading a dose correction factor from a dose correction factor table that matches the selected image thickness (Step ST4); correcting the X-ray dose by the dose correction factor (Step ST5); determining tomographic imaging scan conditions by specifying at least one of the tube current and the emission time (Step ST6); and performing the helical scan and displaying an X-ray tomographic image (Step ST7). Consequently, a disadvantage that a subject is exposed more than necessary can be prevented.

    • A method for quantitatively determining bone mineral mass by a CT system, comprising scanning an objective region together with a plurality of samples produced by mixing a water equivalent material with various ratios of a standard material equivalent to bone mineral mass and determining the bone mineral density of the objective region with reference to the CT numbers of the samples, wherein a plurality of samples are scanned together with the objective region at one or multiple levels of tube voltage and a corrected CT number of each sample is calculated by substituting the CT number of each of the samples with the CT number of blood or a standard material equivalent to blood. By scanning at a single level of tube voltage, bone mineral density is determined, on the basis of the CT number of the objective region and with reference to the corrected CT numbers. On the other hand, by scanning at multiple levels of tube voltage, bone mineral density is determined on the basis of the CT number of the objective region and with reference to the corrected CT numbers while excluding the effect of fat. In the foregoing manner errors due to blood and fat are corrected.
