Abstract
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus including an imaging system in which X-rays are applied to a subject and a picture image in response to an X-ray does transmitted through the subject is displayed comprises an X-ray generator for generating an X-ray a detecting unit for detecting the X-ray generated from the X-ray generator and passing through the subject disposed between the X-ray generator and the detecting unit and for generating a signal in response to the detected X-ray, a deciding unit operatively connected to the detecting unit for deciding an optimum imaging condition for a portion of the subject to be imaged before a start of an imaging process, a unit for detecting whether the imaging system or the subject is being moved or not, and a controlling unit for controlling the imaging condition within a predetermined interval of time during or after the movement of the imaging system or the subject. The detecting unit for the movement of the imaging system or the subject includes a first recording memory for recording the digital signal just before injecting a contrast medium successively as a mask image, a second recording memory for recording the digital signal after injecting the contrast medium successively as a transmitted image.
