Abstract
According to one embodiment, X-ray CT apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an energy integrating type detector, a time data generation circuit, and a projection data generation unit. The X-ray tube emits X-rays. The energy integrating type detector has a plurality of detector units arrayed in a channel direction that accumulate electric charges corresponding to X-rays transmitted through an object. The time data generation circuit generates time data at a timing when the electric charges accumulated in the detector reach a predetermined threshold. The projection data generation unit generates projection data using the time data and energy corresponding to the threshold.
