X-ray imaging apparatus

Abstract

An X-ray imaging apparatus 100 comprises an X-ray imaging unit 3 including an X-ray irradiation unit 31 that irradiates X-rays and an X-ray detection unit 32 that detects X rays; a tabletop unit 1 on which a subject 9 is placed and which is movable relative to the X-ray imaging unit 3; a tabletop unit-installed part 2 that is provided on the tabletop unit 1 and includes a material with a lower X-ray transmittance than a portion of the tabletop unit 1 where the subject 9 is placed; a notification unit 6; and a control unit 5 that performs control to cause the notification unit 6 to provide a notification that the tabletop unit-installed part 2 is interfering with an irradiation field, based on irradiation field range information related to a range of an irradiation field of X-rays irradiated from the X-ray irradiation unit 31 and member position information related to a position of the tabletop unit-installed part 2.
