To surely identify a subject whose radiograph is taken in radiographic equipment for use in a medical diagnosis and in the radiographic equipment taking a measure to prevent misidentification of subjects in particular.
An X-ray tube device 11 is retained to a retainer device 21 movably attached by a ceiling rail 22, a high voltage is impressed by an X-ray high voltage device 17 to generate an X-ray, and the X-ray irradiates toward the subject 24 lying on an imaging table 23 via an X-ray beam limiting device 12. The X-ray transmitting through the subject 24 enters a planar X-ray detector 13 and the X-ray image data obtained thereby are transmitted to an image processor 14. Image data of the face of the subject 24 obtained by the CCD camera 15 attached to the side of the movable X-ray beam limiting device 12 are transmitted to the image processor 14 via a camera controller 16, the both images of the X-ray image data and the face image data are composed to make signals showing a single image, and the image is displayed by the image display device 18.
