The X-ray imaging apparatus (100) includes an X-ray tube (1), an FPD (2), a holding unit (4) that holds the X-ray tube and the FPD facing each other, and a ceiling on which the subject is placed. When performing X-ray imaging while moving the top plate relative to the plate (3), the X-ray tube and the FPD, in conjunction with the relative position of the top plate with respect to the X-ray tube and the FPD, or X-ray imaging And a control unit (5) that controls movement of the holding unit so as to control the X-ray irradiation direction of the X-ray tube and the X-ray detection direction of the FPD based on the inside operation.このＸ線撮影装置（１００）は、Ｘ線管（１）と、ＦＰＤ（２）と、Ｘ線管およびＦＰＤを対向させて保持する保持部（４）と、被検体が載置される天板（３）と、Ｘ線管およびＦＰＤに対して天板を相対移動させながらＸ線撮影を行う際に、Ｘ線管およびＦＰＤに対する天板の相対位置に連動させて、または、Ｘ線撮影中の操作に基づいて、Ｘ線管のＸ線照射方向およびＦＰＤのＸ線検出方向を制御するように、保持部の移動制御を行う制御部（５）とを備える。
