Abstract:
1. An X-ray computed tomography apparatus comprising: a scan unit configured to scan an imaging target region of a subject to be examined with X-rays in accordance with a scan condition; a reconstruction unit configured to reconstruct image data on the basis of projection data acquired by the scan; a scan condition setting unit configured to set the scan condition; a picture quality index calculating unit configured to calculate a value associated with an index of picture quality on the basis of the set scan condition; a sample image storage unit configured to store sample image data corresponding to a reference value associated with the index of picture quality; a simulation image generating unit configured to generate simulation image data corresponding to the calculated value associated with the index of picture quality from the sample image data on the basis of the calculated value associated with the index of picture quality and the reference value associated with the index of picture quality; and a display unit configured to display the generated simulation image data.
