The present invention attempts to reduce an amount of a contrast medium or
a patient dose and improve diagnostic efficiency. The conditions for a
main scan are designated so that a first scan of scanning a subject with
a tube current of a first tube current value fed to an X-ray tube will be
performed in order to examine the blood flow in a subject's blood vessel
into which a contrast medium is injected. Moreover, the conditions for a
main scan are designated so that a second scan of scanning the subject
with a tube current of a second tube current value fed to the X-ray tube
will be performed in order to image the subject's blood vessel into which
the contrast medium is injected. Images of the subject are constructed
based on projection data items produced by scanning the subject under the
sets of conditions for a main scan.
