An X-ray imaging apparatus is provided with an X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray detection unit, a moving mechanism unit movable in a state of supporting the X-ray irradiation unit, an optical feature point acquisition unit, and a notification unit. The optical feature point acquisition unit is provided on either one of the X-ray irradiation unit and the X-ray detection unit and is configured to optically detect a feature point provided on the other of the X-ray irradiation unit and the X-ray detection unit to acquire the position of the feature point. The positional deviation acquisition unit acquires the positional deviation of the relative position between the X-ray irradiation unit and the X-ray detection unit based on the position of the feature point. The notification unit performs a notification based on the positional deviation.
