Abstract
An X-ray image diagnosis apparatus includes an X-ray tube, an X-ray detector, a fluid information acquisition unit, a registration unit, and a capturing direction controller. The X-ray tube emits X-rays toward a subject. The X-ray detector detects the X-rays having passed through the subject. The fluid information acquisition unit acquires fluid information on a target site including a region of interest of the subject captured by an ultrasound image diagnosis apparatus. The registration unit extracts position information of a probe of the ultrasound image diagnosis apparatus. The capturing direction controller controls capturing direction for capturing the target site based on the position information and a direction in which a fluid flows indicated by the fluid information.
