PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible with ease and with less time and labor to position a part to be imaged of a test object within an X-ray irradiation area where an X-ray generating part and an X-ray detection part are opposed to each other when X-ray imaging is conducted with the test object positioned between the X-ray generating part and the X-ray detection part which are opposed to each other horizontally.SOLUTION: An X-ray radiographic apparatus 1 comprises: an X-ray generating part 12 for generating X rays an X-ray detection part 14 which is horizontally opposed to the X-ray generating part 12 and detects X-rays transmitted through a test object and a horizontally move part 19 disposed between the X-ray generating part 12 and the X-ray detection part 14 and movable in a horizontal direction crossing a direction in which the X-ray generating part 12 and the X-ray detection part 14 are opposed, carrying the test object to be X-ray imaged.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】水平方向で対向して位置するX線発生部とX線検出部との間に被検体を位置させてX線撮影を行う場合、被検体の被撮影部位をX線発生部とX線検出部とが対向するX線照射領域内に位置させる位置合わせを、手間と時間とをかけずに容易に行えるようにする。【解決手段】X線撮影装置1は、X線を発生するX線発生部12と、X線発生部12に水平方向で対向し、被検体を透過したX線を検出するX線検出部14と、X線発生部12とX線検出部14との間に配置され、X線撮影される被検体を載せてX線発生部12とX線検出部14とが対向する方向と交差する水平方向に移動可能な水平方向移動部19と、を備える。【選択図】図1
