Claim 0:
1. an X-ray diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
an X-ray source;
an X-ray detector;
an arm configured to support the X-ray source and the X-ray detector; and
processing circuitry configured to
identify a three-dimensional running direction of blood flow of a blood vessel of an object from a plurality of images that are obtained by using the X-ray source and the X-ray detector to image the object from at least two different directions, and
calculate an orbit around a target position of the blood vessel based on the three-dimensional running direction of the blood flow, and
rotate the X-ray source and the X-ray detector by using the arm in such a manner that a periphery of the target position is imaged along the calculated orbit.
