The apparatus includes a radiation irradiation section and an object table connected to an arm such that they face each other, and the breast pressed on the object table using a compression paddle is imaged by rotating the arm according to the imaging direction. In the apparatus, the size of the breast is detected, and the relative position between the radiation irradiation section and object table is changed along the side of the object table facing the chest wall of the subject according to the detected size of the breast and the direction of rotation of the arm.
