Abstract
An X-ray computed tomographic apparatus includes a gantryincluding an X-ray tubewhich generates X-rays and an X-ray detectorwhich detects X-rays transmitted through a subject to be examined, a reconstruction devicewhich generates tomogram data on the basis of an output from the X-ray detector, a breath detectorwhich detects a respiration waveform representing a temporal change in respiration index value associated with the subject, a regular respiration waveform generating unitwhich generates a respiration waveform with a regular respiration cycle which originates from the detected respiration waveform, and a gantry mount displaywhich displays the generated regular respiration waveform.
