Abstract
An X-ray CT scanner includes a photon counting type detector and processing circuitry. The detector includes a plurality of detection elements. The processing circuitry determines whether there is a defective element out of the plurality of detection elements and interpolates an output value of a defective element on the basis of output values of a plurality of normal elements which are included in the plurality of detection elements and which are adjacent to a defective element when there is a defective element.
