An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising X-ray generating unit for generating an X-ray to a patient, X-ray image detecting unit, provided to be apposite to the X-ray generating unit to sandwich the patient therebetween, for detecting an X-ray image, a holding apparatus for rotatably holding the X-ray generating unit and x-ray image detecting unit at a rotation axis, which is a line connecting the X-ray generating unit to the X-ray image detecting unit, and a supporting apparatus for rotatably supporting the holding apparatus at the same rotation axis.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus of a circulatory organ system

An x-ray image-pickup apparatus comprises a base movable along a ceiling wall of a photographing room, a support having one end portion rotatably attached to the base, an arm rotatably and slidable attached to the other end portion of the support, and a pair of x-ray image-pickup systems arranged to be substantially included in an imaginary plane defined within the arm and designed to be capable of photographing a subject situated within the arm in two directions. The apparatus is suitable for a cephalo-cervical interventional angiography.

X-ray image-pickup apparatus

For performing an X-ray examination wherein a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel of a subject from the brachial region, an X-ray shield is mounted on an arm rest to shield scattered X-rays passed from the subject, to thereby protect operator's hands handling the catheter.
