X-RAY CT APPARATUS AND CORRECTION METHOD OF PROJECTION DATA

An X-ray CT apparatus and a correction method of projection data that are capable of suppressing artifacts generated in the vicinity of an edge portion of a test subject are provided. The X-ray CT apparatus for photographing a test subject is characterized by comprising: a correction data creation unit that creates correction data using difference data between measurement projection data for each X-ray energy obtained by photographing a known phantom having a known composition, a known shape, and a size smaller than a photographing field of view of the X-ray CT apparatus and calculation projection data for each X-ray energy calculated on the basis of X-ray transmission lengths obtained from the shape of the known phantom; and a correction unit that corrects projection data for each X-ray energy of the test subject using the correction data.
