Abstract

An X-ray CT apparatusstores an image quality improvement tableindicating levels of image quality improvement effects for a plurality of image quality improvement processes in a storage device. In a case where imaging is performed while modulating an X-ray irradiation amount on the basis of predetermined dose modulation data, an image processing deviceacquires a reference dose used as a reference of image quality, and acquires an irradiation X-ray dose during imaging for image reconstruction target projection data from the dose modulation data. The image processing devicedetermines an image quality improvement process for obtaining image quality used as a reference by referring to the image quality improvement tableon the basis of a ratio between the dose values, and performs the determined image quality improvement process on the reconstruction target projection data.
