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.
Claims27
An X-ray imaging system comprising:
- a camera configured to acquire a camera 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 camera image in a region of a display, along with a list of icons corresponding to parts to be X-ray imaged, in another region of the display, the region and the other region being different;
- receive a selection of one of the icons from the list of the icons that is displayed;
- based on the selection of the one of the icons being received, display, in the region of the display, an indicator indicating an imaging region with respect to the object in the camera image, to which X-rays are to be irradiated by the X-ray imaging device for acquiring the X-ray image data, wherein the imaging region corresponds to the one of the icons that is selected;
- receive, via the indicator, a first input for adjusting a size of the imaging region;
- and
- adjust a size of the indicator, based on the first input that is received via the indicator.
A method for controlling an X-ray irradiation region, the method comprising:
- controlling to acquire a camera image of an object;
- controlling to display the camera image in a region of a display, along with a list of icons corresponding to parts to be X-ray imaged, in another region of the display, the region and the other region being different;
- receiving a selection of one of the icons from the list of the icons that is displayed;
- based on the selection of the one of the icons being received, controlling to display, in the region, an indicator indicating an imaging region with respect to the object to which X-rays are to be irradiated by an X-ray imaging device for acquiring X-ray image data of the object, wherein the imaging region corresponds to the one of the icons that is selected;
- receiving, via the indicator, a first input for adjusting a size of the imaging region;
- and
- controlling to adjust a size of the indicator that is displayed, based on the first input that is received via the indicator.
A touch screen device comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- control to acquire a camera image of an object;
- control to display the camera image in a region of a display, along with a list of icons corresponding to parts to be X-ray imaged in another region of the display, the region and the other region being different;
- receive a selection of one of the icons from the list of the icons that is displayed;
- based on the selection of the one of the icons being received, control to display, in the region, an indicator indicating an imaging region with respect to the object in the camera image, object to which X-rays are to be irradiated by an X-ray imaging device for acquiring X-ray image data, wherein the imaging region corresponds to the one of the icons that is selected;
- receive a first input for adjusting a size of the imaging region;
- and
- control to adjust the size of the indicator that is displayed, based on the first input that is received.
