  • Publication number: 20230277148
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus has a position determination support unit for that allows adjustment of the relative angular relationship between a detection surface of the X-ray detection element and the irradiation direction of the X-ray of the X-ray irradiation element. The X-ray imaging apparatus has an X-ray irradiation element, an X-ray detection element, an angular relationship detection element that detects the relative angular relationship between the detection surface of the X-ray detection element and the irradiation direction of X-rays of the X-ray irradiation element. A projection element projects the irradiation position marker indicating the position where the X-ray is irradiated from the X-ray irradiation element on a body surface of a subject. The projection element changes the display mode of the irradiation position marker based on the deviation level relative to the preset setting angle of the detected angular relationship.
