  • Patent number: 10849589
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an X-ray imaging apparatus and control method thereof, by which the user's hand is photographed and information about a thickness of a subject, information about a photographed spot or information about a photographing angle may be easily obtained from the photographed image. According to an aspect of an example embodiment, there is an X-ray imaging apparatus comprising an X-ray source configured to generate and irradiate an X-ray; a photographing device equipped in the X-ray source for capturing a camera image; and a controller configured to detect a plurality of indicators from the camera image, calculate a thickness of an X-raying portion of a subject based on a distance between the plurality of indicators, and controlling an X-ray irradiation condition based on the thickness of the X-raying portion.

  • Patent number: 10285664
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an X-ray imaging apparatus for photographing a marker provided in an X-ray detector with a camera to acquire information about the distance between the X-ray detector and an X-ray source or information about the pose of the X-ray detector at low cost The X-ray imaging apparatus may include an X-ray source that generates X-rays and irradiates the X-rays. A photographing device installed in the X-ray source photographs a marker image. A controller outputs, when a marker of a plurality of markers constituting a multi-marker array formed in a surface of an X-ray detector is not detected from the marker image, a notice informing that no marker is detected. The controller detects a single marker from another marker image photographed after the notice informing that the marker is not detected is outputted.
