Abstract
An X-ray CT apparatus of an embodiment acquires projection data of a subject based on X-ray detection data according to biometric information synchronous scanning and generates a CT image of the subject based on the projection data. The X-ray CT apparatus includes a first acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a second acquisition unit. The first acquisition unit acquires biometric information of the subject at a timing when the biometric information synchronous scanning has been performed. The determination unit determines, as priority data, detection data that is a target for which data transfer will be preferentially performed among X-ray detection data acquired in the biometric information synchronous scanning based on the biometric information. The second acquisition unit acquires the priority data from a storage device that holds the detection data.
