Abstract
An X-ray imaging apparatus reduces waiting time and smoothly performs position alignment with a target region. The X-ray imaging apparatus has a C-arm that supports an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector; a turning mechanism that turns the C-arm around the vertical axis AX; a table on which a subject M is loaded; a console; and a control element, wherein the control element runs the turning mechanism to turn the C-arm in the direction toward the preset target angle when the console provides the input power to perform the relative move of the table relative to the C-arm.
