Abstract
An X-ray CT apparatus of an embodiment includes a gantry and a control device held by the gantry. The control device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to collect data corresponding to energy of a material, adjust conditions for the data at the time of collecting the data, bundle the data distinguished in some of a plurality of energy bins, aggregate the collected data and the bundled data, and switch between the aggregation of the collected data and the aggregation of the bundled data.
Claims15
An X-ray CT apparatus comprising a gantry and a control device held by the gantry, the control device comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- collect data corresponding to energy of a material;
- adjust conditions for the data at the time of collecting the data;
- bundle the data distinguished in some of a plurality of energy bins;
- aggregate the collected data and the bundled data;
- and
- switch between the aggregation of the collected data and the aggregation of the bundled data.
A data processing method using an X-ray CT apparatus comprising a gantry and a control device held by the gantry, the data processing method, using a computer serving as the control device, comprising:
- collecting data corresponding to energy of a material;
- adjusting conditions for the data at the time of collecting the data;
- bundling the data distinguished in some of a plurality of energy bins;
- aggregating the collected data and the bundled data;
- and
- switching aggregation between aggregation of the collected data and aggregation of the bundled data.
A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program used in an X-ray CT apparatus comprising a gantry and a control device held by the gantry, the program causing a computer serving as the control device to:
- collect data corresponding to energy of a material;
- adjust conditions for the data at the time of collecting the data;
- bundle the data distinguished in some of a plurality of energy bins;
- aggregate the collected data and the bundled data;
- and
- switch aggregation between aggregation of the collected data and aggregation of the bundled data.
