An X-ray computed tomography apparatus including an X-ray source, a data acquisition unit, an X-ray detection unit, a reconstruction unit, a creation unit, and a display unit. An X-ray radiated toward an object by the X-ray source is detected to generate a corresponding signal by the X-ray detection unit. According to the signal, data is acquired by the data acquisition unit. A reconstruction unit reconstructs a tomographic image, while a creation unit creates a plane image based on the acquired data A display unit displays the tomographic image and the plane image.
