Claim One:
1. An X-ray CT apparatus configured to create volume data based on a result obtained by X-ray scanning of a subject for medical practice with a puncture needle, comprising: an image processor configured to create, based on the volume data, an image of the subject obtained by scanning in a state such that the puncture needle is being inserted into the subject; and a display controller configured to cause image to be displayed on a display, wherein the image processor is configured to create a new planned image that cancels a displacement between a first position of a specific region in the image and a second position of a corresponding specific region in a first planned image, the first planned image being created based on different volume data in advance and including a set image of an insert passage for the puncture needle with respect to the subject; and the display controller is configured to cause the display to display the new planned image, instead of the first planned image, to cancel the displacement.
