An X-ray CT system comprises an X-ray source and an X-ray detector opposed
to the X-ray source with a subject between them. The X-ray detector
detects X-rays irradiated from the X-ray source to the subject. The
direction in which the X-ray source irradiates X-rays is shifted about
the subject. First tomographic images of a predetermined slice thickness
representing sections that are orthogonal to a body axis, which links the
subject's head and the subject's tiptoe, at predetermined positions of
the subject are produced. The X-ray CT system further comprises a
parameter designation block in which parameters that define the
conditions for producing second tomographic images, and an image
processing unit that produces the second tomographic images from the
first tomographic images according to the parameters.
