1. An X-ray CT apparatus that acquires projection data of a subject based on X-ray detection data according to biometric information synchronous scanning and generates a CT image of the subject based on the projection data, the apparatus comprising:
a gantry device that performs radiation and detection of X-rays in the biometric information synchronous scanning and stores the X-ray detection data acquired in the biometric information synchronous scanning on a storage device included in the gantry device; and
processing circuitry configured to
acquire biometric information of the subject at a timing when the biometric information synchronous scanning has been performed,
determine, as priority data, particular detection data that is a target for which data transfer will be preferentially performed first among the X-ray detection data acquired in the biometric information synchronous scanning based on the biometric information, and
acquire the determined priority data from the storage device included in the gantry device.
