Abstract
To provide an X-ray CT apparatus and a scanning method that can scan a corpse efficiently, a death mode is selected and input to the CPU of an image processing device by performing a mouse-click or touch operation on any of buttons on a death mode selection window. The CPU obtains scanning conditions from the storage unit according to the input death mode. In a charred body mode, scanning conditions are defined in advance to perform high-resolution scanning for the pelvis portion and standard scanning for the other entire body for sex estimation. The sex estimation process estimates the corpse's sex based on the pelvis portion shape and outputs the results. In a drowned body mode, scanning conditions are defined in advance to perform high-resolution scanning for the lung field and standard scanning for the other entire body to measure a water amount in the lung.
