An X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to the present embodiment includes: an X-ray tube which generates X-rays to be irradiated at an object; an X-ray diaphragm which houses an X-ray shielding member forming an irradiation aperture, through which the X-rays pass, along a side surface of the X-ray tube; an X-ray detector which detects X-rays passing through the object; and an image data generation circuitry which generates image data based on the X-rays detected by the X-ray detector.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus and X-ray diaphragm thereof

A diagnostic table for a medical imaging apparatus includes a sliding command input device by which a sliding command is configured to be input to produce a sliding movement of a tabletop, a first detector configured to detect sliding movement of the tabletop, a second detector configured to detect input of the sliding command, a stopper coupled to the tabletop and configured to prevent the tabletop from sliding, and a controller coupled to the first and second detectors and the stopper, the controller configured to determine a fault condition when the first detector detects sliding movement of the tabletop inconsistent with the command detected by the second detector and to activate the stopper to prevent the sliding movement of the tabletop upon determining existence of the fault condition.

Diagnostic table

An X-ray diagnosis apparatus which divides a desired scope of diagnosis for a subject under examination from a first diagnosis position to a second diagnosis position into a plurality of diagnosis regions and produces an X-ray image of each of the diagnosis regions, thereby obtaining consecutive X-ray images covering the scope of diagnosis. The apparatus includes an input means for inputting at least a third diagnosis position within the scope of diagnosis and a setting means for setting the center-to-center distance of adjacent diagnosis regions on the basis of the distance between the first diagnosis position and the third diagnosis position.
