Abstract:
1. A medical radiography apparatus comprising a supporting means to support an X-ray generating section and an X-ray detecting section, both of the sections facing each other, and a moving means to move the supporting means relative to an object to be examined held by an object holding means, whereby an X-ray image of the object is obtained by operating said moving means while irradiating an X-ray beam from said X-ray generating section, wherein said supporting means is turnable by said moving means, wherein said X-ray generating section selectively generates an X-ray slit beam and an X-ray broad beam by switching control, wherein said X-ray detecting section comprises a first imaging means to generate an X-ray image in response to the X-ray slit beam and a second imaging means to generate an X-ray image in response to the X-ray broad beam, and wherein said medical radiography apparatus comprises; a display section to display a first X-ray image generated by the X-ray slit beam and said first imaging means; an operating section to specify a desired interested area on the first X-ray image displayed in said display section; and a control means to control said moving means in order to generate a predetermined sectional image as a second X-ray image by using the X-ray broad beam and said second imaging means with respect to the interested area specified by said operating section.
