In a mobile x-ray imaging apparatus according to the present invention, a rotating arm (27) is provided at the tip section of an extendable arm (15) which is movable upward and downward along a support post (13), and the rotating arm (27) moves an X-ray tube (17) upward and downward when a rotating shaft (27a) rotates. The extendable arm (15) can extend or retract in the x direction, and the rotating shaft (27a) can be made to rotate while the extension/retraction state of the extendable arm is being adjusted. In this case, the height of the X-ray tube (17) can be varied in a wider range centered at the support post (13), from a low position near the lower end of the support post (13) to a position higher than the support post (13). Thus, the mobile x-ray imaging apparatus according to the present invention allows the X-ray source to move in a wider range, thereby improving handleability in positioning the X-ray source. |
