According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnosis apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an input interface, a holding mechanism, an X-ray detector, a display, and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube is configured to radiate X-rays. The input interface is configured to receive an input manual operation of designating at least a direction. The holding mechanism is configured to hold the X-ray tube, and to move the X-ray tube in accordance with the input manual operation, the X-ray tube radiating X-rays during the moving. The X-ray detector is configured to detect X-rays radiated from the X-ray tube and passing through an object, the X-ray detector generating X-ray image data based on the detected X-rays. The display is configured to subsequently display an X-ray image based on the X-ray image data.
