Abstract
An X-ray diagnosis apparatus includes a holding device, a drive unit, a route specify unit, an operation direction detector, and a drive controller. The holding device holds an X-ray tube and is configured to be movable. The drive unit is capable of moving the holding device. The route specify unit specifies a movement route from a current position of the holding device to a target position. The operation direction detector detects operation direction, which is the direction of moving operation that the holding device has received. The drive controller controls the drive unit to stop a driving force when the operation direction differs from the direction of the movement route.
