A console for an ex-ray imaging apparatus improves operability and includes in combination an operation panel 26 and a recording button 26b on an imaging system operation lever 26a. In use, the operator grips the imaging system operation lever 26a while video imaging allowing the operator to operate a recording button 26b without unlinking a hand from the imaging system operation lever 26a while watching the display element 25 without changing the line of sight to the operation panel 26. Accordingly, the operator can start recording immediately without changing the line of the own sight, so that the scene for diagnosis is accurately recorded.
