ABSTRACT:
An X-ray CT apparatus comprising: a scanner unit for rotating one or more X-ray sources for applying X-ray beams having different energy spectra to an object, and detectors disposed opposed to the X-ray sources for detecting transmitted X-ray data on the object, around the object while applying X-rays, reconstructing means for reconstructing a tomogram of the object by acquiring transmitted X-ray data on the object including the two or more different energy spectra by using the scanner, and display means for displaying the reconstructed tomogram; the X-ray CT apparatus further comprising input means for inputting information on an identification tissue of the object to be identified and a separate tissue to be separated from the identification tissue from the tomogram and scanning condition determining means for determining the scanning condition for identifying the identification tissue from the tomogram.With this, an optimum scanning condition of a multi-energy X-ray CT apparatus can be determined.
