ABSTRACT:
An initial image (the image of a slit plate5imaged when adjusted to an optimal focal diameter) is stored in a storage section72of an X-ray tube adjusting apparatus7. An acquisition section74acquires a test image (the image of the slit plate5imaged at the time of adjusting the focal diameter). A presentation section76presents the initial image and an image representing the luminance on the initial image (showing a contrast Δa between a slit portion764aand a residual area portion766ain the initial image) and the test image and an image representing the luminance on the test image (showing a contrast Δb between a slit portion764band a residual area portion766bin the initial image) simultaneously (in a comparable manner).
