ABSTRACT:
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising an X-ray generator having a cylindrical rotating target, a slit plate having a slit extending in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which an X-ray focal point moves on the target, the slit plate and rotating target being moved relatively in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the slit extends, an X-ray detector arranged opposite to the slit plate with an object interposed between them and serving to convert X-ray beams passing through the slit and the object to electrical signals, a signal processor for picking up only those signals which relate to the object from these electrical signals obtained through the X-ray detector, and a display device for displaying an X-ray image which corresponds to the signals picked up by the signal processor.
