Abstract
According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, storage circuitry, slice image generation circuitry, a display. The X-ray tube generates X-rays from a predetermined focus. The X-ray detector detects X-rays which have been generated by the X-ray tube and passed through an object placed on a top plate. The storage circuitry stores volume data about the object. The slice image generation circuitry generates slice images corresponding to planes each including the focus based on the volume data and a relative position of the focus with respect to the top plate. The display displays the slice images.
