Patent ID: 7382859

Claim:
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising: an X-ray detector which detects X-rays irradiated from an X-ray source; a detector control unit which controls the X-ray detector to repeatedly execute a charge accumulation of the X-ray detector and execute a charge removal of the X-ray detector before X-rays are irradiated in response to ON-state of an irradiation designation member; and a notification unit which notifies an operator of a period to execute the charge accumulation before X-rays are irradiated in response to ON-state of an irradiation designation member by light emitted from a light-emitting unit on a housing of the X-ray detector, from an end of a charge removal of the X-ray detector to a start of a next charge removal of the X-ray detector in accordance with a control of the X-ray detector by the detector control unit.
