The present invention aims to obtain a tomographic image similar in image
quality to a tomographic image obtained by executing a scan at X-ray tube
current value set by an X-ray automatic exposure function even when the
X-ray tube current value set by the X-ray automatic exposure function are
not within a standard range of the X-ray tube current values settable at
the X-ray tube (21). X-ray tube current value supplied to the X-ray tube
(21) are set by the X-ray automatic exposure function. Thereafter, when
the X-ray tube current value set by the X-ray automatic exposure function
is not within in the standard range of the X-ray tube current value
settable at the X-ray tube, the X-ray tube current value at a portion not
within the standard range are changed so as to be within the standard
range, and the set value of helical pitch is changed so as to correspond
to the ratio between the pre-changed x-ray tube current value and the
post-changed X-ray tube current value.
