PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray imaging apparatus which eliminates unnecessary exposure, has good operability of adjustment of an imaging position and a diaphragm amount, and allows an operator to intuitively grasp the imaging position and region.SOLUTION: An X-ray imaging apparatus 100 comprises: an imaging part (an X-ray irradiation part 104) which has an X-ray source and acquires an X-ray image of a subject a table 102 on which a subject lies down a drive mechanism part 131 which relatively moves the position of the imaging part with respect to the table 102 and a control part 120 which controls the drive mechanism part 131 on the basis of positional information of an operation unit 200 for specifying the position to be imaged by the imaging part. The control part 120 controls the drive mechanism part 131 to move the imaging part to the position indicated by an operator using the operation unit 200.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】不要な被曝をなくし、且つ撮像位置や絞り量の調整の操作性がよく、操作者が直感的に撮像位置や領域を把握することが可能なX線撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】X線撮像装置100は、X線源を有し、被写体のX線像を取得する撮像部(X線照射部104)と、被写体を寝かせるテーブル102と、テーブル102に対する撮像部の位置を相対移動する駆動機構部131と、撮像部により撮像すべき位置を指定する操作器200の位置情報をもとに駆動機構部131を制御する制御部120と備える。制御部120は、駆動機構部131を制御して、操作者が操作器200で指示した位置に撮像部を移動する。【選択図】図4
