Abstract
The present invention relates to an X-ray scanning system which is used to synchronize the preheating of an X-ray irradiation unit and the initialization of a digital image panel using wireless synchronization signals. The preheating of the X-ray irradiation unit and the initialization of the digital image panel are synchronized with each other using the wireless synchronization signal generated by the user's commands inputted through a hand-held switch unit. This makes it possible to conveniently take an X-ray image of an object.
Claims4
An X-ray scanning system comprising:
- an X-ray irradiation unit for generating X-rays and irradiating the X-rays on an object;
- a digital image panel for acquiring an X-ray image data of the object by sensing an intensity of the X-rays transmitted through the object and converting the intensity of the X-rays to electrical signals;
- a management computer for managing the digital image panel;
- a switch unit for inputting a user's command to the X-ray irradiation unit;
- a synchronization unit for initializing the X-ray irradiation unit according to the user's command inputted from the switch unit and generating a synchronization command signal;
- and
- a control unit for initializing the digital image panel in response to the synchronization command signal and then generating and sending a synchronization completion signal.

- a digital image panel for acquiring an X-ray image data of the object by sensing an intensity of the X-rays transmitted through the object and converting the intensity of the X-rays to electrical signals;
- a management computer for managing the digital image panel;
- a switch unit for sequentially inputting a first user's command and a second user's command to the X-ray irradiation unit;
- a synchronization unit for generating a first control signal for initialization of the X-ray irradiation unit and sending the first control signal to the X-ray irradiation unit, when the first user's command is inputted from the switch unit, and for generating and sending a synchronization command signal, when the second user's command is inputted from the switch unit;
- and
- a control unit for initializing the digital image panel in response to the synchronization command signal and then generating and sending a synchronization completion signal,
- wherein the synchronization unit is designed to generate a second control signal for causing the X-ray irradiation unit to irradiate the X-rays, when the synchronization completion signal is received from the control unit.
