A X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes an X-ray imaging unit including an
X-ray tube and an X-ray detecting unit to generate an X-ray image, an
image generating unit generating a 3D non-blood vessel image and a 3D
blood vessel image from an original 3D image generated by the X-ray
diagnostic apparatus or an X-ray CT apparatus, a projection image
generating unit generating a non-blood vessel projection image from the
3D non-blood vessel image and generating a blood vessel projection image
from the 3D blood vessel image, a positional shift identifying unit
identifying a positional shift between the X-ray image and the non-blood
vessel projection image, a correcting unit correcting a positional shift
of the blood vessel projection image on the basis of the positional
shift, and a display unit which displays the X-ray image and the
corrected blood vessel projection image.
