PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray imaging apparatus which can efficiently perform X-ray imaging from multi-directions by continuously rotating a C-shaped arm through any rotation positions.SOLUTION: A rotation path calculation part 41 calculates the rotation path of a C-shaped arm 9 on the basis of information on a target rotation position corresponding to a pressed memory switch and the order of pressing the memory switches. A main control part 37 continuously rotates the C-shaped arm 9 along the calculated rotation path of the C-shaped arm 9 in accordance with the press-down of a rotation execution switch. With such a simple operation that the rotation execution switch is pressed, the C-shaped arm 9 is continuously rotated through all the target rotation positions sequentially. Therefore, the time required for photographing an X-ray image can be shortened since an operation related to X-ray imaging becomes easy. Moreover, a burden on a subject in X-ray imaging can be suppressed since the amount of a contrast medium administered to the subject can be reduced. |
