Abstract
According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, and control circuitry. The X-ray tube generates X-rays. The X-ray detector includes a plurality of X-ray detection elements that detect X-rays generated by the X-ray tube. The control circuitry adjusts a position of an X-ray path with respect to the respective X-ray detection elements based on either the first mode for generating an image having the first resolution, or the second mode for generating an image having the second resolution lower than the first resolution.
