Abstract:
Provided are a calibration apparatus and method that may be used for setting a magnitude of an electric pulse based on a result obtained by imaging at least one imaging object, and that may be used for calibrating by mapping at least one photon energy corresponding to an absorption edge of at least one calibration object.
Abstract:
A calibration method of a radiation detecting apparatus, a control method of a radiation imaging apparatus and a radiation imaging apparatus are provided. The control method of the radiation imaging apparatus includes performing prior information acquisition by obtaining at least one correction threshold energy, at which a theoretical radiation intensity of at least one threshold energy is measured, and performing radiation image acquisition by obtaining at least one radiation image at the at least one threshold energy using the at least one correction threshold energy.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an X-ray imaging apparatus for optimizing radiography conditions upon radiography, and a control method thereof. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes: an input device configured to receive information about a patient; and a controller configured to conduct a search for a previously obtained X-ray image related to the information about the patient and a previously set radiography condition related to the information about the patient, and to set a radiography condition for a main-shot based on a result of the search.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for acquiring an optimal MEX image may include an X-ray source to generate an X-ray and to irradiate the X-ray, an energy identification detector to acquire a MEX image that is generated when the irradiated X-ray penetrates an object, and an optimal MEX processor to generate an optimal MEX parameter based on a characteristic of the object and to control at least one of the X-ray source and the energy identification detector based on the generated optimal MEX parameter.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an X-ray imaging apparatus and a method for controlling the same. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator configured to radiate first-energy X-rays toward an object, an X-ray detector configured to detect the first-energy X-rays which propagate through the object, an image processor configured to generate a first object image which correspond to the detected first-energy X-rays and to estimate a second object image which corresponds to second-energy X-rays based on the generated first object image, and a controller configured to control the image processor to repeatedly estimate the second object image by controlling the X-ray generator to repeatedly radiate the first-energy X-rays toward the object.
Abstract:
The X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator to generate and emit X-rays, an X-ray detector to detect the emitted X-rays and acquire X-ray data, and a controller to convert the X-ray data into X-ray characteristic coordinates and estimate a response characteristic function of the X-ray detector from a relationship between measurement data and reference data, the measurement data and the reference data being converted into the X-ray characteristic coordinates.
