Abstract: An X-ray device for irradiating a beam of X-rays on an object to capture an X-ray image of the object is smaller in size and weight than conventional ones. The X-ray device includes an X-ray tube for generating the beam of X-rays and irradiating the beam of X-rays on the object, a shutter arranged around an X-ray irradiation axis for regulating an X-ray irradiation region on which the beam of X-rays is irradiated through the object, and a visual indicator unit arranged on the shutter for movement together with the shutter, the visual indicator unit being designed to visually indicate the X-ray irradiation region. In the X-ray device, the X-ray irradiation region is visually indicated by laser light without having to use a lamp otherwise provided between the X-ray tube and the shutter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an X-ray scanning system which is used to synchronize the preheating of an X-ray irradiation unit and the initialization of a digital image panel using wireless synchronization signals. The preheating of the X-ray irradiation unit and the initialization of the digital image panel are synchronized with each other using the wireless synchronization signal generated by the user's commands inputted through a hand-held switch unit. This makes it possible to conveniently take an X-ray image of an object.

Abstract: A battery-powered x-ray imaging apparatus uses a battery with a reduced capacity as a power source. The x-ray imaging apparatus includes a DC-AC converting part for converting a direct current of a battery to an alternating current, a high-voltage transformer for increasing a magnitude of the alternating current to output a high-voltage alternating current, an AC-DC converting part for converting the high-voltage alternating current to a high-voltage direct current, and an x-ray tube having an anode terminal and a cathode terminal electrically connected to the AC-DC converting part. The x-ray tube is designed to generate x-rays by allowing electrons emitted from the cathode terminal to impinge on the anode terminal. The DC-AC converting part, the high-voltage transformer, the AC-DC converting part and the x-ray tube are sealingly received within the housing part filled with oil.

Abstract: A high voltage transformer is small-sized, lightweight and less costly to fabricate. The high voltage transformer is designed to maintain equal the potential difference between the components of two transforming component groups and also to keep the components of the respective transforming component groups equipotential at the same distance in the direction extending from a first end to a second end. This eliminates the need to dispose an insulating body between the components of the first and second transforming component groups. This also makes it possible to fabricate the high voltage transformer with a small size and in a cost-effective manner.
