1. An X-ray control apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray tube having a rotation anode built in for irradiating an object under examination with X-rays;
select means for selecting the rotational speed of said rotation anode of said X-ray tube from among a low speed, a medium speed, and a high speed; and
drive means for driving said rotation anode into rotation at the rotational speed selected by said select means, and wherein, for X-ray irradiation by said X-ray tube, said select means selects either the medium speed or the high speed.

Abstract
In an X-ray diagnostic apparatus, the rotation anode of an X-ray tube is placed in rotation at a given low speed prior to examination of an object under examination by fluoroscopy. For fluoroscopy, the rotational speed of the rotation anode is switched from the low speed to a given medium speed. For X-ray photography, the rotational speed of the rotation anode is switched from the medium speed to a given high speed.

17. An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
-
an X-ray tube having a rotation anode built in for irradiating an object under examination with X-rays;
select means for selecting the rotational speed of said rotation anode of said X-ray tube from a first speed and a second speed higher than the first speed; and
