Abstract
In order to produce X-ray radiographic images consistently with high quality regardless of the magnitude of body thickness or motion of an examined site, a radiographic irradiation time threshold readout section reads a radiographic irradiation time threshold Th corresponding to an examined site input by an operator out of a radiographic irradiation time threshold table , and an irradiation condition determining section and radiographic irradiation time comparing section select a larger radiographic focus size as the radiographic focus size for an X-ray tube if Th<radiographic irradiation time Ts, and select a smaller radiographic focus size if Th radiographic irradiation time Ts.
