Abstract: Provided is a radiographic apparatus that can conduct radiography for an appropriate imaging region although a subject bends in a body-side direction. With one example of this invention, two or more fluoroscopic X-ray images successively taken are connected to generate a single fluoroscopic X-ray image. With a conventional configuration, when a subject bending in the body-side direction is imaged, the subject extends off a detecting surface of an FPD in the body-side direction. As a result, it is difficult to take an entire image of the subject. Thus, with the example, a detecting surface 4a is moved along a path F inclined relative to a vertical direction to successively take fluoroscopic X-ray images of the subject. The fluoroscopic X-ray images can be successively taken along bending curvature of the subject, which enables to take an entire image of the bending subject easily.

Abstract: Disclosed is an X-ray imaging device with which X-ray exposure will not be stopped due to the backup time, causing underexposure, in phototimer imaging, because the body of the subject is thick. A database unit (18) stores a database showing the relationships among a variety of subject (M) body thicknesses (t), X-ray parameters, and imaging times. A search processor (16) searches the aforementioned database for data matching X-ray parameters stored in a parameter storage unit (15) and body thicknesses (t) calculated by a body thickness measurement unit (17), and requests the corresponding imaging time. If the imaging time is longer than the backup time set by an X-ray controller (12), the search processor (16) instructs the X-ray controller (12) to extend the backup time to the imaging time.
