Abstract
An X-ray computed tomography (CT) apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to generate image data based on a detection result obtained by detecting X-rays transmitted through a subject with a detector. The processing circuitry is configured to specify a boundary between a first region and a second region in the image data, based on anatomical landmarks in the image data, and adjust setting of scan conditions relating to a tube current value in accordance with information relating to a position of the boundary.

An X-ray computed tomography (CT) apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- generate image data based on a detection result obtained by detecting X-rays transmitted through a subject with a detector;
- and
- specify a boundary between a first region and a second region in the image data, based on anatomical landmarks in the image data, and adjust setting of scan conditions relating to a tube current value in accordance with a position of the boundary and a position of an end portion of a satiric range where the tube current value is set by Auto Exposure Control (AEC).
