Abstract

A pre-ignition type X-ray apparatus including a mode changeover switch which changes a pre-heat mode to an X-ray irradiation mode and vice versa, a tube current control circuit for feedback control of the X-ray tube's filament heating current to a target value, and pre-heat control circuit for controlling the filament heating current in the pre-heat mode to a target value lower than the target value in the X-ray irradiation mode. The pre-heat control circuit includes a differential amplifier which amplifies the difference between the detected voltage corresponding to a source voltage and the reference voltage determining the lower target value, so that the control signal is outputted from the differential amplifier.
