Zusammenfassung:Provided is a tomosynthesis imaging apparatus that can prevent unnecessary exposure.Fifteen radiation tubes are arranged in a radiation source of the mammography apparatus. An irradiation field limiter includes a plate-like member having a plurality of through holes that function as irradiation openings. Adjacent through holes are arranged at an interval of one radiation tube. In the plate-like member, the position of the through holes which are irradiation openings are moved to a first set position in a case in which radiation is emitted from first radiation tubes which are some of three or more radiation tubes and a second set position in a case in which the radiation is emitted from second radiation tubes different from the first radiation tubes among the three or more radiation tubes. Therefore, one through hole is shared by two radiation tubes.
