Abstract
A method, performed by a mobile X-ray detector, of processing an X-ray image, including generating the X-ray image of an object by detecting an X-ray transmitted through the object and converting the detected X-ray into an electrical signal; detecting a power supply stoppage which prevents transmission of the generated X-ray image from the mobile X-ray detector to a workstation; based on the detecting of the power supply stoppage, storing the X-ray image in a nonvolatile memory inside the mobile X-ray detector; and after storing the X-ray image, deactivating the mobile X-ray detector.
Claims20
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- a mobile X-ray detector;
- a display;
- a user input interface;
- a communication interface configured to transmit or receive data with the mobile X-ray detector;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, through the user input interface, a user input for selecting an X-ray image from among at least one non-transmitted X-ray image generated by the mobile X-ray detector,
- select, by the received user input, the X-ray image from among the at least one non-transmitted X-ray image,
- control the communication interface to transmit, to the mobile X-ray detector, imaging information of the selected X-ray image and a request signal for requesting transmission of the selected X-ray image,
- receive, by the communication interface, the X-ray image from the mobile X-ray detector, and
- control the display to display the received X-ray image on the display.
A method, performed by an X-ray imaging apparatus, of processing X-ray images, the method comprising:
- receiving a user input for selecting an X-ray image from among at least one non-transmitted X-ray image generated by a mobile X-ray detector;
- selecting, by the received user input, the X-ray image from among the at least one non-transmitted X-ray image;
- transmitting, to the mobile X-ray detector, imaging information of the selected X-ray image and a request signal for requesting transmission of the selected X-ray image;
- receiving the X-ray image from the mobile X-ray detector;
- and
- displaying the received X-ray image.
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- a mobile X-ray detector;
- a display;
- a user input interface;
- a communication interface configured to transmit or receive data with the mobile X-ray detector;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- control the communication interface to receive, from the mobile X-ray detector, imaging information of each of a plurality of X-ray images generated by the mobile X-ray detector and information about transmission, upon receiving the imaging information of each of the plurality of X-ray images and the information about transmission, transmit a first request signal for requesting a plurality of thumbnail images of the plurality of X-ray images to the mobile X-ray detector, and receive the plurality of thumbnail images from the mobile X-ray detector,
- control the display to display the received plurality of thumbnail images on the display,
- receive, through the user input interface, a user input for selecting one of the displayed plurality of thumbnail images,
- control the communication interface to transmit, to the mobile X-ray detector, a second request signal for requesting to transmit a first X-ray image corresponding to the selected thumbnail image by the received user input, and
- control the communication interface to receive, from the mobile X-ray detector, the first X-ray image.
