Abstract
An X-ray CT apparatus includes a first X-ray source, a first detector, a second X-ray source, a second detector, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry controls the first X-ray source, the second X-ray source, the first detector, and the second detector to perform scanning. The processing circuitry acquires first data of a plurality of first detection regions and second data of a plurality of second detection regions, each of the plurality of first detection regions and the plurality of second detection regions including one detection element or a plurality of detection elements in a row direction, and the plurality of first detection regions being offset by an amount corresponding to n (0<n<1) of a length of each of the plurality of first detection regions in the row direction from the respective plurality of second detection regions. The processing circuitry generates image data based on the acquired first data and the acquired second data.
