  • Publication number: 20230165553
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to the present embodiment comprises: an X-ray irradiator configured to irradiate X-rays; an imager configured to image an identifier that identifies a position of an X-ray detector which detects X-rays; and processing circuitry configured to calculate, based on the identifier shown on an image imaged by the imager, a relative position of the X-ray irradiator regarding the X-ray detector and an irradiation position of the X-ray irradiator where a corresponding relative position meets a predetermined X-ray imaging condition; and output, based on the relative position and the irradiation position, a movement information of the X-ray irradiator.
