Abstract
According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, and control circuitry. The X-ray tube generates X-rays. The X-ray detector includes a plurality of X-ray detection elements that detect X-rays generated by the X-ray tube. The control circuitry adjusts a position of an X-ray path with respect to the respective X-ray detection elements based on either the first mode for generating an image having the first resolution, or the second mode for generating an image having the second resolution lower than the first resolution.

An X-ray computed tomography apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray tube that generates X-rays;
- an X-ray detector that includes a plurality of X-ray detection elements that detect X-rays generated by the X-ray tube;
- and
- control circuitry that adjusts a position of an X-ray path with respect to the X-ray detection elements based on selection of a first mode for generating an image having a first resolution corresponding to a first bundle unit of at least one of the X-ray detection elements, or selection of a second mode for generating an image having a second resolution lower than the first resolution and corresponding to a second bundle unit of at least one of the X-ray detection elements different from the first bundle unit.
