Abstract
An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray limiter having four diaphragm blades; and a console on which four physical operating units that correspond to the four diaphragm blades are placed at four positions. When viewed from the side of the operator of the console, the four operating units are placed on the far side, the near side, the left side, and the right side. The far-side operating unit, the near-side operating unit, the left-side operating unit, and the right-side operating unit correspond to the upper diaphragm blade, the lower diaphragm blade, the left-side diaphragm blade, and the right-side diaphragm blade, respectively, with reference to an X-ray image displayed in a display. An operation of moving the far-side operating unit in the far-side direction results in the movement of the upper diaphragm blade in the upward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display, and an operation of moving the far-side operating unit in the near-side direction results in the movement of the upper diaphragm blade in the downward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display. An operation of moving the near-side operating unit in the far-side direction results in the movement of the lower diaphragm blade in the upward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display, and an operation of moving the near-side operating unit in the near-side direction results in the movement of the lower diaphragm blade in the downward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display. An operation of moving the left-side operating unit in the leftward direction results in the movement of the left-side diaphragm blade in the leftward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display, and an operation of moving the left-side operating unit in the rightward direction results in the movement of the left-side diaphragm blade in the rightward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display. An operation of moving the right-side operating unit in the leftward direction results in the movement of the right-side diaphragm blade in the leftward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display, and an operation of moving the right-side operating unit in the rightward direction results in the movement of the right-side diaphragm blade in the rightward direction of the X-ray image displayed in the display.
