X-ray imaging apparatus

An X-ray imaging apparatus, comprising:

• an X-ray imaging unit provided in an X-ray imaging room and having an X-ray irradiation unit that irradiates X-rays, an X-ray detection unit that detects the X-rays irradiated from the X-ray irradiation unit, and a top plate;
• a first console provided in the X-ray imaging room and including a first operation unit for the X-ray imaging unit;
• a second console provided outside the X-ray imaging room and including a second operation unit for the X-ray imaging unit;
• a first operator detection unit that detects a first operator corresponding to the first console;
• a second operator detection unit that detects a second operator corresponding to the second console;
• an analysis unit that performs an analysis process on each of first detection information acquired by the first operator detection unit and second detection information acquired by the second operator detection unit to acquire first posture information of the first operator and second posture information of the second operator;
• and
• a control unit that, based on the first posture information and the second posture information, performs control to switch an operating authority for enabling operation of the X-ray imaging unit between the first console and the second console.
