Claim Text:
1. An imaging apparatus for a moving image, comprising: an X-ray generation controller configured to control an X-ray generator to repeatedly irradiate a first area of an object; a receiver configured to receive, by using a signal from an X-ray detector, a first X-ray moving image corresponding to the irradiated first area; and a processor configured to cause a display unit to display a first image based on the received first X-ray moving image, wherein said processor is further configured to obtain information to set a second area of the object within the first area, wherein said X-ray generation controller is further configured to, in a case in which said processor sets the second area within the first area, control the X-ray generator to limit the irradiated area to the set second area, wherein said receiver is further configured to, in a case in which the irradiated area is limited to the second area, receive a second X-ray moving image corresponding to the set second area, and wherein said processor is further configured to, in a case in which said receiver receives the second X-ray moving image, cause the display unit to display the first image based on the first X-ray moving image and a second image based on the second X-ray moving image, said processor being further configured to cause display of the second image on an area in the first image, the area of the first image corresponding to the set second area, such that the displayed second image is surrounded by an area of the displayed first image.
