Abstract
An X-ray television apparatus in which an X-ray image which is obtained by an X-ray image intensifier is converted to an electrical signal by a television camera. This electrical signal is converted to a digital signal and stored into an image memory, and the angiographic imaging can be performed due to a differential process of data between two X-ray images. Either one of first, second, and third operating modes in which the scanning periods and the numbers of scanning lines of the television camera differ and a fourth operating mode to obtain the X-ray images by a further low X-ray dose and to simultaneously monitor the X-ray images can be selected. Thus, proper time resolution and spatial resolution according to a desired purpose can be obtained and the beam current of the image pickup tube of the television camera which is optimum in each operating mode is set.
