1. A medical image diagnosis apparatus, comprising:
an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector configured to image an examined subject;
input interface hardware configured to receive various operation inputs from an operator; and
processing circuitry configured to:
cause a display to display a protocol selecting screen including a first display region used for displaying a protocol list indicating a plurality of imaging protocols each including at least one scan, and a second display region used for displaying, in response to a first operation input of the operation inputs, a plurality of icons representing a plurality of scans selected from the plurality of imaging protocols and being arranged in a sequential order of execution,
change, when a scan condition of the plurality of scans in the second display region is revised in response to a second operation input of the operation inputs, the display of the plurality of icons in accordance with the revised scan condition,
cause, in response to a third operation input of the operation inputs, a display screen displayed by the display to transition from the protocol selecting screen to a scan executing screen that includes the second display region and is used for executing the plurality of scans as one imaging protocol in the sequential order corresponding to the plurality of icons displayed in the second display region, and
revise the scan condition in response to the second operation input and control the imaging of the examined subject in accordance with the imaging protocol displayed in the second display region on the scan executing screen.
