Abstract
An X-ray device includes a camera to image an object and output the image of the object, a display member using a touch screen to display the image of the object output from the camera, and an X-ray irradiation region of the object, an X-ray irradiation region controller to control a region of the object to which an X-ray is irradiated, and a control member to enable the irradiation region controller to control the region of the object to which an X-ray is irradiated according to the X-ray irradiation region, when the X-ray irradiation region is determined, based on the image of the object displayed in the display member.
Claims20
An X-ray imaging system comprising:
- a camera configured to acquire a first image of an object;
- an X-ray imaging device configured to acquire X-ray image data of the object;
- and
- a touch screen device configured to:
- display the first image in a region of a display, along with a list of X-ray imaging parts in another region of the display, the region and the other region being different;
- receive a selection of one of the X-ray imaging parts from the list of the X-ray imaging parts that is displayed;
- based on the selection of the one of the X-ray imaging parts being received, display, in the region, a second image indicating an imaging region of the object to which X-rays are irradiated by the X-ray imaging device for acquiring the X-ray image data, such that the second image overlaps the first image that is displayed, wherein the imaging region corresponds to the one of the X-ray imaging parts that is selected;
- receive a first input for adjusting a size of the second image that is displayed;
- and
- adjust the size of the second image that is displayed, based on the first input that is received.
A method for controlling an X-ray irradiation region, the method comprising:
- controlling to acquire a first image of an object;
- controlling to display the first image in a region of a display, along with a list of X-ray imaging parts in another region of the display, the region and the other region being different;
- receiving a selection of one of the X-ray imaging parts from the list of the X-ray imaging parts that is displayed;
- based on the selection of the one of the X-ray imaging parts being received, controlling to display, in the region, a second image indicating an imaging region of the object to which X-rays are irradiated by an X-ray imaging device for acquiring X-ray image data, such that the second image overlaps the first image that is displayed, wherein the imaging region corresponds to the one of the X-ray imaging parts that is selected;
- receiving a first input for adjusting a size of the second image that is displayed;
- and
- controlling to adjust the size of the second image that is displayed, based on the first input that is received.
A touch screen device comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- control to acquire a first image of an object;
- control to display the first image in a region of a the display, along with a list of X-ray imaging parts in another region of the display, the region and the other region being different;
- receive a selection of one of the X-ray imaging parts from the list of the X-ray imaging parts that is displayed;
- based on the selection of the one of the X-ray imaging parts being received, control to display, in the region, a second image indicating an imaging region of the object to which X-rays are irradiated by an X-ray imaging device for acquiring X-ray image data, such that the second image overlaps the first image that is displayed, wherein the imaging region corresponds to the one of the X-ray imaging parts that is selected;
- receive a first input for adjusting a size of the second image that is displayed;
- and
- control to adjust the size of the second image that is displayed, based on the first input that is received.
