This X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector, an arm, an arm driving mechanism, an X-ray detector moving mechanism, a bed, and a control unit. The control unit performs control of a position adjustment operation for adjusting a position of the X-ray detector such that a distance from a surface of a subject model serving as a model of a surface shape of the subject to the X-ray detector becomes a predetermined distance by moving the X-ray detector toward or away from the surface of the subject model.
