An X-ray computed tomographic apparatus includes a gantry, a
reconstructing portion, and a tube current value determining portion. The
gantry acquires projection data of an arbitrary range in a body axial
direction by continuously moving a tabletop on which a subject is laid
down and by continuously rotating an X-ray tube about the subject. The
reconstructing portion reconstructs image data from the acquired
projection data according to reconstruction processing selected by an
operator from plural types of reconstruction processing. The tube current
value determining portion determines plural tube current values
respectively corresponding to discrete, plural positions within the
range, on the basis of the selected type of reconstruction processing and
an image quality level specified or selected by the operator.
