Abstract
A hand-grip type oral X-ray device having an alignment function according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube configured to generate and emit X-rays, an X-ray receiver including a first gyro-sensor and a first communication module, having, at a corner thereof, a magnet configured to generate a magnetic force, and configured to receive the X-rays generated from the X-ray tube to acquire X-ray data about an object in the oral cavity, and a handle including a rod-shaped grip operable by the hand of a user and an extension arm connecting the X-ray receiver and the grip to each other, and coupled to the X-ray receiver.

A hand-grip type oral X-ray device having an alignment function, the hand-grip type oral X-ray device comprising:
- an X-ray tube configured to generate and emit X-rays;
- an X-ray receiver comprising a first gyro-sensor, first communication module, and a magnet positioned at a corner of the X-ray receiver, configured to generate a magnetic force, the X-ray receiver configured to receive the X-rays generated from the X-ray tube to acquire X-ray data about an object in an oral cavity;
- and
- a handle comprising a rod-shaped grip operable by a hand of a user and an extension arm connecting the X-ray receiver and the grip to each other, the handle coupled to the X-ray receiver,
- wherein the handle comprises:
- an image generating unit configured to process a radiographic image taken by the X-ray receiver through a radiographic image processing program to generate a radiographic image file in a form that can be visually ascertained by the user;
- a first display unit configured to display the radiographic image generated by the image generating unit;
- a memory unit configured to store the radiographic image taken by the X-ray receiver;
- and
- a power supply unit configured to supply power to the X-ray receiver and the handle, wherein the X-ray tube comprises:
- a second gyro-sensor;
- a Hall sensor configured to sense the magnetic force formed by the magnet;
- an ultrasonic sensor configured to sense the X-ray receiver by generating ultrasonic waves;
- and
- a proximity sensor configured to sense a distance between the X-ray tube and the X-ray receiver.
