Abstract
There is provided an X-ray CT apparatus that allows easy and correct confirmation of which position a bed can be moved to and which region can be imaged. The X-ray CT apparatus performs imaging for obtaining a scanogram(S), displays the scanogram(S), and calculates a transversely movable region(S). Further, the X-ray CT apparatus inputs size of a bow tie filter(S), inputs a transverse movement destination of a bed(S), calculates an imageable region on the basis of the size of the bow tie filter and the transverse movement destination(S), and displays the imageable region(S).
