PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a specific cardiac phase suitable for image reconstruction when the heart of a subject is photographed and the image of the heart is reconstructed by an X-ray CT apparatus. SOLUTION: A difference computing part 304 computes the difference between projection data, for example, data corresponding to the center C of an X-ray detection part 23 for each combination of two projection data with opposite view directions and adjacent to each other in time, based on a plurality of projection data collected through scanning by a scanning gantry 2. Then, a specific cardiac phase determining part 305 determines the specific cardiac phase suitable for reconstruction based on the size of the difference. For example, the cardiac phase corresponding to the minimum difference is determined as the specific cardiac phase. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
