The present invention relates to an operation switch for use on an X-ray system and to an X-ray system including same. The operation switch, which includes a button part for operating a generator for driving an X-ray tube, includes: a switch body part a link part which is formed so as to extend integrally with the button part and which is slid along the outer side surface of the switch body part when the button part is under a pressing operation a switching means for being switched when the link part slides and a transmission means for generating and transmitting a signal based on the switching operation of the switching means. A controller controls an X-ray receiving cassette to be ON when the signal is received. Accordingly, the convenience of X-ray imaging can be improved when using the X-ray system.
