Abstract
A radiation tomography system is provided that includes a control unit to control a data collection system to acquire first data by scanning a first scan region centered on a first position in a body axis direction of a subject in synchronization with heartbeats, and second data by scanning a second scan region adjacent to the first scan region and centered on a second position in the body axis direction in synchronization with the heartbeats. A reconstructing unit is provided to reconstruct an image of a slice between the first position and second positions using the first and second data. The reconstructing unit determines a view-angle-range-based use rate for the first data and a view-angle-range-based use rate for the second data according to the position of the slice relative to the first and second positions.
