An X-ray imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray generator, an X-ray detector, an input interface, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: display, on a display, an image based on X-rays detected by the X-ray detector; control, based on a first control signal according to the direction signal, a rotating mechanism of the arm so that the arm performs a first rotation; and control, in response to an end of the first rotation, based on a second control signal, the rotating mechanism so that the arm performs a second rotation which returns the arm toward a position before the first rotation, the position being stored in a memory circuit.

X-ray imaging apparatus

According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus which can improve operability is provided. This apparatus comprises a top configured to move, a bed including the top, an X-ray tube configured to generate X-rays applied to an object placed on the top, a peripheral unit used around the bed, and control processing circuitry configured to generate a control signal. The peripheral unit moves in a self-propelled manner between a first position and a second position by a motor. The control processing circuitry generates a control signal for controlling the movement of the peripheral unit.

An X-ray image diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes: an image processing unit configured to create a synthesized image by synthesizing an X-ray image of a region of interest inside a given region and an X-ray image of a peripheral region excluding the region of interest in the given region, wherein when the region of interest is changed, the image processing unit acquires an X-ray image of a changed region which is in the region of interest before the change and is changed to the peripheral region, from the X-ray image of the region of interest before the change, and then superimposes the X-ray image of the changed region on the X-ray image of the peripheral region to create the synthesized image.

X-ray image diagnosis apparatus

According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes X-ray generators, X-ray detectors, high voltage generators, a switching device, an abnormality detection unit and a control unit. The high voltage generators are configured to apply voltages to the X-ray generators. The switching device is configured to switch outputs from the high voltage generators to the X-ray generators. The abnormality detection unit is configured to detect an abnormality in the high voltage generators. The control unit is configured to control the switching device to switch from an output from a high voltage generator of which abnormality has been detected by the abnormality detection unit toward a corresponding X-ray generator to an output from another high voltage generator toward the corresponding X-ray generator.
