The X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to any of embodiments includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube is configured to irradiate an imaging region of a subject with X-rays. The X-ray detector is configured to detect the X-rays. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire an incident angle of the X-rays corresponding to a clinical purpose of the imaging region, and acquire image data from an image sensor that images the imaging region. The processing circuitry is configured to rotate the X-ray tube in accordance with the acquired incident angle of the X-rays, and slide a position of a central path of the X-rays with respect to the imaging region based on the image data.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus

A medical imaging apparatus includes an anode rotating type X-ray tube which generates X-rays, a high voltage generation unit implemented by circuitry which generates a high voltage to be applied to the X-ray tube, a power supply unit implemented by circuitry which supplies power to the high voltage generation unit, and a control unit implemented by circuitry which controls the high voltage generation unit to stop or start supply of a filament current to the X-ray tube and/or supply of a current to a stator coil for anode rotation in accordance with a predetermined rule.
