PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray imaging apparatus which can perform X-ray imaging in otorhinolaryngology without giving an oppressive feeling or the like to an examinee.SOLUTION: This invention comprises: a turning arm 5 which possesses an X-ray irradiating part 51 and an X-ray detecting part 52 which are mutually arranged opposite to a head part of an examinee O, and turns around the examinee a holding frame 4 which holds the turning arm 5 a supporting body 3 which supports the holding frame 4 a horizontal frame 6 which is attached to the supporting body 3 and an examinee holding part 7 which is provided on the tip part of the horizontal frame 6 and supports the examinee at the prescribed imaging position. In the state of holding the examinee O on the examinee holding part 7, this invention turns the turning arm 5 to a prescribed turning position, and then stops it, and after that, irradiates X-rays from the X-ray irradiating part 51, and detects the prescribed X-ray data by the X-ray detecting part 52.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 この発明は、被検者に圧迫感等を与えることなく、耳鼻咽喉科のX線撮影を行えるX線撮影装置を提供することにある。【解決手段】 この発明は、被検者Oの頭部に対して相互に対向配置されたX線照射部51とX線検出部52とを有し、被検者を中心として回転する旋回アーム5と、この旋回アーム5を保持する保持フレームと4、この保持フレーム4を支持する支持本体3と、この支持本体3に取り付けられる水平フレーム6と、この水平フレーム6の先端部に設けられた被検者を所定の撮影位置に支持する被検者保持部7と、を備え、被検者保持部7に被検者Oを保持した状態で、旋回アーム5を所定の回転位置にまで回転させた後、停止させ、X線照射部51からX線を照射し、X線検出部52で所定のX線データを検出する。【選択図】 図11
