An X-ray apparatus capable of performing both computerized tomography (CT)
imaging and usual radiography imaging (usual imaging) can realize high
definition even in the usual imaging. In the X-ray apparatus, for the
usual imaging, since a chair serving as a supporting structure for
supporting a subject on a rotatable table is not required, the chair is
withdrawn from an imaging field. The usual imaging is controlled so as to
be permitted when the supporting structure is withdrawn from the imaging
field. For imaging a knee, for example, sliding the chair allows imaging
keeping the knee being in the rotation center. Therefore, a wide variety
of imaging operations can be realized with a single flat-panel sensor.
