X-ray computed tomography apparatus and information processing method

Abstract

An X-ray computed tomography (CT) apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry configured to identify gantry state information indicating a state of a gantry including an opening, the gantry state information including at least one of posture information indicating a posture of the gantry and object information indicating an object other than a subject present in the opening, determine a VolumeEC parameter used for calculation processing related to VolumeEC, which is a function to adjust X-ray irradiation conditions for the subject, based on the identified gantry state information and parameter information to be stored by associating the gantry state information with the VolumeEC parameter for calculation processing related to the VolumeEC, perform calculation processing related to the VolumeEC using the determined VolumeEC parameter, and adjust the X-ray irradiation conditions based on a result of the calculation processing related to the VolumeEC.
