Patent ID: 7826591

Claim:
An X-ray imaging apparatus including an X-ray imaging unit configured to acquire an X-ray image by imaging using X-rays generated by an X-ray generation unit, the X-ray imaging apparatus comprising: a post-imaging processing unit configured to perform post-imaging processing for the X-ray image acquired by the X-ray imaging unit; a determination unit configured to determine in real time whether an imaging order for the X-ray image is received; and a control unit configured to cause the post-imaging processing unit to perform the post-imaging processing when the determination unit does not determine that the imaging order for the X-ray image is received, while causing the post-imaging processing unit to stop the post-imaging processing and then permitting the imaging of the X-rays by the imaging order when the determination unit determines that the imaging order for the X-ray image is received and the post-imaging processing unit is performing the post-imaging processing.
