  • Patent number: 11504080
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, a photon counting detector, and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube radiates X-rays. The photon counting detector detects the X-rays radiated from the X-ray tube and transmitted through a subject. The processing circuitry adjusts a temperature adjustment amount used for regulating a temperature of the photon counting detector according to an imaging mode.

  • Publication number: 20220039771
    Abstract: A medical image diagnostic apparatus of embodiments includes an acquisition unit and a processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires physical characteristics data of an examination subject and information about an imaging target portion. The processing unit is configured to output bed position information about the examination subject according to the acquired physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion by inputting the physical characteristics data and the information about the imaging target portion acquired by the acquisition unit to a trained model which is configured to output bed position information on the basis of physical characteristics data and information about a imaging target portion.

  • Patent number: 10617368
    Abstract: One embodiment, control circuitry executes at least one of a start operation and a stop operation. For a start operation, the control circuitry accelerates a top support portion along a forward direction before moving a top when starting to move an object in a scan after positioning the top support portion at a moving start position decided based on a scan condition and accelerates the top to a set speed along the forward direction after a first predetermined time since start of acceleration control on the top support portion. For a stop operation, the control circuitry accelerates the top support portion along the forward direction when decelerating the top and stops the top after a second predetermined time since start of acceleration control on the top support portion.
