    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a camera to capture a camera image of a target disposed on an examination table; an X-ray source to generate and radiate X-rays; a memory to store imaging protocols; a display; and a controller. The controller is configured to receive information regarding a selection of an imaging protocol, identify a position of an imaging region of the target based on the camera image, the imaging region corresponding to the selection of the imaging protocol and the camera image being acquired with the examination table at a first distance from the X-ray source, control the display to display the camera image of the target and an indicator indicating the imaging region on the camera image based on the identified position, and control the X-ray source to radiate the X-rays toward the target disposed on the examination table at a second distance from the X-ray source.

    Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus uses a camera image to set various types of parameters related to X-ray imaging including an X-ray irradiation region and automatically controls X-ray imaging. An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an imaging device that captures a camera image, an X-ray source on which a collimator adjusting an X-ray irradiation region is mounted, a storage unit that maps and stores an X-ray imaging region for each of a plurality of X-ray imaging protocols, an input unit that receives a selection of one among the X-ray imaging protocols from the plurality of X-ray imaging protocols, and a controller that extracts an X-ray imaging region mapped to the selected X-ray imaging protocol from the camera image and controls the collimator such that the X-ray irradiation region corresponds to the extracted X-ray imaging region.
