PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mammographic imaging apparatus capable of performing accurate correction and capable of shortening time when a patient has her breasts pressed.SOLUTION: A mammographic imaging apparatus comprises compression plate moving means for moving a compression plate. The above problem is solved by performing radiation source exposure preparations including at least one of the application of a high voltage to a radiation source, anode rotation of a target, and adjustment of a collimator, depending on the completion of the movement of the compression plate by the compression plate moving means.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】精度の高い補正を行なうことができ、かつ、患者が乳房を押圧されている時間を短くすることができる乳房放射線画像撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】圧迫板を移動する圧迫板移動手段を有し、圧迫板移動手段による圧迫板の移動完了に応じて、放射線源への高電圧の印加、ターゲットの陽極回転、および、コリメータの調整の少なくとも1つを含む放射線源の曝射準備を行なうことにより、前記課題を解決する。【選択図】図1
