1. An X-ray imaging apparatus for performing X-ray imaging of an object and acquiring an X-ray fluoroscopic image, comprising:

  • an X-ray generation unit configured to irradiate the object with X-rays;

    an X-ray collimator configured to limit an X-ray irradiation range of the X-ray generation unit;

    a dose detection unit configured to detect the X-rays that have passed through the X-ray collimator; and

    a dose reduction rate calculation unit configured to calculate a reduction rate of an exposure dose of the object based on a value detected by the dose detection unit in X-ray imaging before the X-ray irradiation range is limited by the X-ray collimator and a value detected by the dose detection unit in X-ray imaging after the X-ray irradiation range is limited by the X-ray collimator.
