An X-ray computed tomographic apparatus comprises a scanner to scan in a
three-dimensional region of a subject by X-rays, a storing unit to store
projection data acquired by the scanning, a reconstruction processing
unit to generate volume data which corresponds to a three-dimensional
region, based on the stored projection data, an MPR processing unit to
generate slice image data relating to three-direction slice planes from
the volume data, a displaying unit to display the slice image data
together with a graphic element representing a reconstruction range, an
operating unit to operate the graphic element, and a reconstruction
processing unit to reconstruct tomographic image data which corresponds
to the reconstruction range represented by the graphic element, based on
the stored projection data.
