Abstract
A photon counting computed tomography apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry and a display. The processing circuitry is configured to set a scanning condition required in photon counting CT scanning based on the imaging mode related to photon counting CT scanning or based on the examination objective of performing the photon counting CT scanning of a subject. The display is configured to display the set scanning conditions.
Claims13
A photon counting computed tomography apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to set a scanning condition required in a photon counting CT scanning based on an imaging mode related to the photon counting CT scanning or based on an examination objective of performing the photon counting CT scanning of a subject, wherein the scanning condition includes a condition for counting a number of photons without discriminating photon energies;
- and
- a display configured to display the scanning condition.
