<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an X-ray imaging apparatus which can be easily moved for an imaging region being determined by the locations of an X-ray tube/X-ray detector in arbitrary direction, and can easily control imaging. <P>SOLUTION: On first to third base sections 4 to 6, a rotating shaft which rotates around a vertical shaft center is respectively provided. First to third driving sections make the first to third base sections 4 to 6 respectively rotate around the vertical shaft center. A control unit respectively controls the first to third driving sections in such a manner that the imaging of a subject may be performed while a C-shaped holding member 3 is moving under a state wherein an inserting angleϕ, which is an angle formed by the body axis of the subject and the horizontal axis of the C-shaped holding member 3 when seen on a flat surface, is kept uniform. Therefore, the X-ray imaging apparatus can be easily moved in an arbitrary direction for the imaging region which is determined by the locations of the X-ray tube 9/X-ray detector. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
