摘要： Improvement of the picture quality of tomograms in an X-ray CT apparatus using a multi-row x-ray detector is to be realized. When conventional scanning (axial scanning) or cine-scanning is to be performed in consecutive different scanning positions in the z-axis direction, the width of the X-ray beam at scanning positions at both ends is kept at exactly or approximately D/2 relative to the multi-row x-ray detector. Alternatively, the interval between one scanning position and another is kept at not more than D. Unevenness of picture quality dependent on positions on the z-axis on a reconstructed plane can be improved.

摘要： In order to detect whether the center position of a subject is offset from a scan center and notify a human operator of the result of the detection, the subject center position is detected based on a projection profile of a parallel view at a view angle of 90° (S5). If the distance between the subject center position and the scan center exceeds a predefined range (e.g., 50 cm) (S6), a warning is displayed on a CRT to prompt the operator to adjust the position of the subject and repeat imaging (S7).

摘要： A method for compensating scattering includes acquiring the projective length of non-subject entities and acquiring the projective length of an object of radiography wherein the object of radiography is radiographed with a beam thickness set to the same value as a detector thickness and the object of radiography is radiographed with the beam thickness set to a value larger than the detector thickness. An amount of scattering is calculated based on the difference between the object data from the first scan and the object data from the second scan and stored in association with the sum of projective lengths. A subject is radiographed to produce data and the projective length of the subject is calculated along with the projective length of the non-subject entities having affected the data. The amount of scattering associated with the sum of the projective length and the projective length is then determined.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention improve image quality by preventing artifacts from developing. From the projection data obtained by performing a scan for the imaging area of a subject, a tomographic image for a cross-sectional plane of the imaging area is reconstructed. Based on the tomographic image, the density distribution of the imaging area of the subject is then calculated. Thereafter, the scattered radiation beam data is calculated depending on the density distribution, and the projection data is corrected using the scattered radiation beam data. Finally the corrected image is reconstructed based on the corrected projection data.
