Abstract:
An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source configured to generate X-rays, and to irradiate the X-rays; an imaging unit configured to photograph an object image; a controller configured to acquire object direction information from the object image, and to determine whether the object direction information corresponds to information about an irradiation direction of X-rays; and a user interface configured to output a warning if the object direction information does not correspond to the information about the irradiation direction of X-rays.
Abstract:
An X-ray imaging apparatus controls an imaging area using an image area setting which includes displaying, on a screen, an X-ray image with respect to an X-ray irradiation area acquired via X-ray irradiation of an X-ray irradiator, receiving a selected-area generation instruction to select a partial area of the X-ray image displayed on the screen from a user, and displaying a selected-area using a boundary line if the selected-area is designated on the screen by the user. Thereafter, the imaging area setting method includes setting the X-ray irradiation area based on the selected-area, and adjusting the X-ray irradiator so as to irradiate the X-ray irradiation area with X-rays.
