Abstract: A mammography apparatus minimizes the displeasure experienced by a human during x-ray operations, the displeasure being generated by a low temperature of a portion of the mammography apparatus making contact with the human body. The displeasure is minimized by increasing and maintaining the temperature of the portion of the mammography apparatus. The mammography apparatus includes an x-ray generating unit to generate x-rays, and an x-ray detecting unit having a detector to obtain x-ray data by detecting the x-ray passing through a subject. The x-ray detecting unit includes a housing forming an outer appearance of the x-ray detecting unit, a thermoelectric element provided at an inside the housing, and is disposed such that a cooling unit faces a lower surface of the detector, and a heat pipe extends to an inner side surface of the housing from a heat generating unit of the thermoelectric element.

Abstract: An X-ray imaging method and an apparatus having an improved structure configured to reduce pain and discomfort during a procedure. The X-ray imaging apparatus acquires an X-ray image by compressing an object that is irradiated by an X-ray source. An X-ray detector includes an object contact material that contacts the object. X-rays that pass through the object are detected X-rays, an electrical signal is generated based on the X-rays. A paddle is disposed between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector to be vertically adjustable relative to the X-ray source and X-ray detector so as to compress the object placed on the object contact surface. The paddle includes a supporting member, a pressure member coupled to the supporting member, and at least one adjustment member arranged between the supporting member and the pressure member to regulate movement of the pressure member according to the shape of the object.
