PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray imaging apparatus which is further improved in space saving and can image the inside of a subject in optimum condition when used for capturing a plurality of images.SOLUTION: The X-ray imaging apparatus includes X-ray generating means, a first mechanism part, a bed and control means, and images the inside of a subject by detecting X-rays with which the subject is irradiated and transmitted through the subject. The X-ray generation means generates the X-rays. The bed includes: a top plate on which the subject is placed X-ray detection means which is placed at a side opposite to the X-ray generation means with respect to the subject-placing surface of the top plate and detects the X-rays and a second mechanism part which moves the X-ray detecting means and the top plate independently. The control means relatively moves the X-ray generation means and the X-ray detection means so that the X-ray generation means and the X-ray detection means are placed to face each other, by controlling at least one of the first mechanism part and the second mechanism part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】より一層の省スペース化を図り、複数の撮影用途において最適な状態で被検体の内部の画像化が可能なX線撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】実施形態のX線撮影装置は、X線発生手段と、第1機構部と、寝台と、制御手段とを含み、被検体に向けて照射され前記被検体を透過したX線を検出することにより前記被検体の内部を画像化する。X線発生手段は、前記X線を発生する。寝台は、前記被検体が載置される天板と、前記天板における前記被検体の載置面に対して前記X線発生手段と反対側に配置され前記X線を検出するX線検出手段と、前記X線検出手段を前記天板と独立に移動させる第2機構部とを有する。制御手段は、前記第1機構部及び前記第2機構部の少なくとも一方を制御することにより、前記X線発生手段と前記X線検出手段とが対向配置されるように、前記X線発生手段及び前記X線検出手段を相対的に移動させる。【選択図】図1
