Abstract
A radiation imaging apparatus avoids collisions of the radiation with an obstacle, and includes a flat panel detector (FPD) connected with a supporting axis facing a vertical direction to a ray detection surface. A supporting axis is supported rotatably due to the action of the bearing and the flat panel detector rotates around the supporting axis as the center of the rotation via the supporting axis by driving with the motor. A frame member surrounding the flat panel detector has a circular outer appearance of which a center is the supporting axis, and the diameter of the frame member is longer than the length of the diagonal line of the flat panel detector.
