ABSTRACT:
An X-ray CT apparatus comprises: motion information acquisition means that acquires periodical motion information on a motion portion of an object to be examined; a detector that rotates together with an X-ray source and detects X-rays applied to the object from the X-ray source to acquire projection data per collection region; and reconstruction means that processes the projection data resulting from the detector to reconstruct a tomogram of the object, wherein the X-ray CT apparatus further includes delay time determination means that determines a delay time by adding a time width of the collection region and a processing delay time in the X-ray CT apparatus and a time interval from the moment when the phase of the measured periodical motion information is matched with the phase of the rotation period of the X-ray CT apparatus to the moment when they are matched next time, and collection means that correlates, with the periodical motion information obtained by the motion information acquisition means, and successively collects the projection data obtained from the detector, with the reconstruction means starting reconstruction of the tomogram after the delay time.
