Abstract
When a first-stage push-button switch of an operation unit () is pressed, an X-ray imaging control unit () transmits a signal A for starting voice guidance to a signal output unit () for a voice guidance unit as well as a signal B for starting preparation of X-ray imaging to an X-ray tube control unit (). At this time, when the pushing operation of the push-button switch is performed, the X-ray imaging control unit () immediately transmits the signal A for starting the voice guidance to the signal output unit () for the voice guidance unit but transmits the signal B for starting the X-ray imaging after a time thas elapsed. The time tis a time calculated by subtracting a time trequired for preparing an X-ray tube () for performing X-ray imaging from a time trequired for the voice guidance.
