An X-ray computed tomographic (CT) system includes: a beam-hardening
correction block that corrects first projection information in terms of
the beam-hardening effect so as to produce second projection information;
a first fitting block that fits a first function to the second projection
information so as to produce third projection information; a second
fitting block that fits a second function to the third projection
information values that are provided as functions having as independent
variables the second projection information values sampled in relation to
all the views and each of the channels of an X-ray detector; and a
correction coefficient modification block that modifies a second
correction coefficient, which is calculated using a second phantom larger
in dimensions than a first phantom, using a first correction coefficient
calculated using the first phantom.
