Abstract
According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes a couch, an imaging unit, and processing circuitry. The couch includes a couch top on which a subject lies. The imaging unit includes an X-ray generator, an X-ray detector, and a holding device. The holding device movably holds the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector. The processing circuitry generates an X-ray image of the subject, based on an output of the X-ray detector, sets a first interference determination area including a device projecting from the subject, based on an image of the device included in the X-ray image, and controls the holding device such that movement of the imaging unit is restricted in the first interference determination area.
