Abstract
According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes a rotating frame rotatably supporting an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector detecting X-rays transmitted through an object on a top, a plan storage unit storing a plan for sequentially executing scans to acquire projection data sets with rotation of the rotating frame, a scan information storage unit storing scan information including projection data sets, and a scan control unit determining positions of the rotating frame and the top based on the plan and the scan information when the plan is interrupted and resuming at least one of the plurality of scans in the plan.
Claims6
An X-ray computed tomography apparatus comprising:
- a rotating frame configured to rotatably support an X-ray tube configured to generate X-rays and an X-ray detector configured to detect X-rays transmitted through an object on a top;
- a plan storage unit configured to store a plan for sequentially executing a plurality of scans to acquire a plurality of projection data sets with rotation of the rotating frame;
- a scan information storage unit configured to store scan information including the plurality of projection data sets;
- and
- a scan control unit configured to determine a position of the rotating frame and a position of the top based on the plan and the scan information when the plan is interrupted, and to resume at least one of the plurality of scans in the plan.
