A CT image processing device 5 which processes projection data in synchronization with a periodic motion of a portion of a subject includes an ROI calculation unit 36 which calculates specific information on an ROI for synchronization for each scanning angle so as to track the target portion of the subject. As a result, a strong synchronization signal is obtained, a characteristic amount in which breathing beat and heartbeat sufficiently appear can be measured, and simple synchronization processing is made possible by using the projection data. A dedicated device for obtaining the heartbeat or breathing beat such as ECG and a respiratory measuring device is not required, and a heartbeat signal and a breathing beat signal can be obtained from an ROI signal of the projection data. As a result, blurring on an image caused by the heartbeat can be eliminated, and an image quality is extremely improved. |
