Claim One:
1. A medical diagnostic imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit configured to capture a subject in a second X-ray irradiation area that is narrower than a first X-ray irradiation area after imaging the subject in the first X-ray irradiation area; an X-ray image generating unit configured to generate a first X-ray image in the first X-ray irradiation area and a second X-ray image in the second X-ray irradiation area based on an imaging result by the imaging unit; an adjusting unit configured to calculate a statistic of a pixel value of the first X-ray image or the second X-ray image and adjust an operating condition of the imaging unit so that the statistic approaches a threshold set in advance; and a control unit configured to control the imaging unit and the X-ray image generating unit so as to generate the second X-ray image based on the adjusted operating condition after generating the first X-ray image.
