Abstract
Disclosed is an X-ray image processing apparatus including a data obtaining unit generating first to N-th images indicating an internal structure of an object and an image processing unit receiving the first to N-th images from the data obtaining unit, detecting a movement of the object, and generating a final image from the first to N-th images based on the movement of the object. The data obtaining unit actively controls an X-ray pulse irradiated based on the movement of the object.
Claims11
An X-ray image processing apparatus comprising:
- a data obtaining unit configured to generate first to N-th images indicating an internal structure of an object;
- and
- an image processing unit configured to:
- receive the first to N-th images from the data obtaining unit;
- detect a movement of the object;
- and
- generate a final image from the first to N-th images based on the movement of the object,
- wherein the data obtaining unit actively controls a pulse of an X-ray irradiated based on the movement of the object;
- wherein the image processing unit performs an averaging operation or a leveling operation on the first to N-th images based on a movement velocity of the object.
An X-ray image processing method, the method comprising:
- setting a plurality of reference values for changing an X-ray pulse;
- obtaining first to N-th images based on the plurality of reference values;
- detecting a movement of an object based on the first to N-th images;
- calculating an image display frame rate based on the movement of the object;
- performing an averaging operation or a leveling operation on the first to N-th images based on a movement velocity of the object;
- and
- outputting a final image based on the image display frame rate.
