PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray imaging apparatus capable of appropriately scanning a portion close to the axillary fossa and performing mammography in a supine position. SOLUTION: A scanning frame has a space part for holding the breasts of a subject placed in a supine posture on a table, and holds an X-ray generating part and an X-ray detecting part provided in facing positions with the space part placed in between. The scanning frame is configured to be rotatable with a rotating rod adjustable in delivery quantity, as a rotation axis in order to carry out scanning for collecting transmission data from the multiple directions of the breasts by turning the X-ray generating part and the X-ray detecting part around the breasts. The scanning frame is slidably supported to a support frame extended in the shoulder width direction of the subject placed in the supine posture on the table. The sliding position of the scanning frame in the support frame, the mounting angle of the scanning frame to the support frame, and the delivery quantity of the rotating rod are adjusted by an adjusting part.
