Abstract
An apparatus includes: an imaging unit, an X-ray detecting unit, outputting, upon irradiation of X-rays, an X-ray detection signal over the irradiation period; an operation controlling unit, generating a trigger indicating an imaging start timing based on the X-ray detection signal and using the trigger to perform operation controlling of the imaging unit; and a signal cable L, containing, within a tube, one or a plurality of each of a detection signal line L, transmitting the X-ray detection signal, a controlling signal line L, transmitting a controlling signal for drive control of the imaging unit, and an image signal line L, transmitting image signals, resulting from imaging by the imaging unit, and in the signal cable L, the detection signal line Lis disposed at an inner central portion of the tubeand the other signal lines are disposed so as to surround the detection signal line L. The occurrence of malfunctions in the X-ray imaging apparatus is thereby reduced.
