Abstract
An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generating unit, an X-ray image receiving unit, a control unit, and an arm unit. The X-ray generating unit radiates X-rays. The X-ray image receiving unit receives X-rays radiated by the X-ray generating unit. The control unit controls the X-ray generating unit and the X-ray image receiving unit. The arm unit is configured to extend so as to position the X-ray generating unit and the control unit above the X-ray image receiving unit and to retract in the case of transportation.
Claims10
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray generating unit configured to radiate X-rays;
- an X-ray image receiving unit configured to detect X-rays;
- and
- an arm unit configured to support the X-ray generating unit and extend above the X-ray image receiving unit.
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray generating unit configured to radiate X-rays;
- an X-ray image receiving unit configured to detect X-rays;
- and
- an arm unit configured to support the X-ray generating unit and to be foldable toward an image receiving surface of the X-ray image receiving unit.
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray generating unit configured to radiate X-rays;
- a housing unit configured to house therein an X-ray image receiving unit;
- a control unit configured to control the X-ray generating unit and the X-ray image receiving unit;
- and
- an arm unit having a proximal end and a distal end, and configured to support at the distal end thereof the X-ray generating unit and to connect at the proximal end thereof with the housing unit,
- wherein the arm unit extends away from the X-ray image receiving unit to position the X-ray generating unit for an imaging operation, and contracts towards the housing unit for a storage operation.
