An X-ray television apparatus includes an X-ray image intensifier and an imaging unit. The X-ray image intensifier converts an X-ray image into a visible image. The visible image is transmitted to the imaging unit by optical fiber bundles coupled with each other by a coupling mechanism. The imaging unit converts the visible image into an electrical signal of an image. Bolts are threadably engaged with a flat ring base provided to the X-ray image intensifier. By an elastic pressure of coil springs into which the bolts are inserted, a holding member provided to the coupling mechanism couples the imaging tube to the X-ray image intensifier via the optical fiber bundles. An electrostatic shielding film is formed on a surface of the holding member and prevents a pseudo signal generated by the X-ray image intensifier from entering the imaging unit, thereby reducing the noise components contained in the electrical signal of an image.
