A method and apparatus for reducing the contrast of a tomographic image
due to crosstalk and the occurrence of artifacts and improve the quality
of the tomographic image. Detection data are subjected to fitting
processing in such a manner that, of the data generated by an X-ray
detected by X-ray detection elements disposed in array form in a
plurality of X-ray detection modules disposed adjacent to one another,
first detection data generated by the X-ray detected by X-ray detection
elements adjacent to a boundary between the plurality of X-ray detection
modules are adapted to waveform data based on second detection data
generated by the X-ray detected by X-ray detection elements lying around
the adjacent X-ray detection elements.
