X-ray imaging apparatus and method for controlling the same

An X-ray imaging system comprising:

• a touch sensitive display;
• a camera configured to capture images;
• an X-ray source configured to emit X-rays;
• a collimator configured to adjust an X-ray irradiation region to which the X-rays are irradiated;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• obtain an image of a target object from the camera,
• control the touch sensitive display to display the obtained image of the target object and display a plurality of indicators including a first indicator, on the displayed image of the target object, the plurality of indicators respectively corresponding to a plurality of divided regions which constitute a stitching region for the target object, and
• automatically stitch a plurality of X-ray images corresponding to the plurality of divided regions to provide one X-ray image of the stitching region for the target object,
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
• control the touch sensitive display to display the first indicator of the plurality of indicators differently from other indicators of the plurality of indicators,
• control the touch sensitive display to display a first user interface related to setting an X-ray irradiation condition for a first divided region of the plurality of divided regions corresponding to the first indicator, and
• control the X-ray source to emit X-rays to the first divided region of the plurality of divided regions based on the X-ray irradiation condition set via the first user interface.
