Abstract
An x-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an x-ray tube holder, a supporter, an ultraviolet ray, a contact portion detector, and an irradiation controller. The x-ray tube holder holds an x-ray tube. The supporter movably supports the x-ray tube holder. The ultraviolet ray emitter is disposed to the x-ray tube holder and emits ultraviolet rays. The contact portion detector detects a contact portion touched by a subject of detection, which is at least one of a subject of examination and an examination technician. The irradiation controller controls the support to move the x-ray tube holder to a position corresponding to the contact portion, and controls the ultraviolet ray emitter to emit the ultraviolet rays toward the contact portion.
