The x-ray imaging apparatus includes x-ray detectors, and a user interface configured to display sizes of the x-ray detectors, and display a modality in which an x-ray detector, among the x-ray detectors, is usable, while a size of the x-ray detector is displayed. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An x-ray imaging apparatus comprising: a plurality of x-ray detectors; a display; an input device; and a controller configured to: control the display to display a first icon indicating a first mounting portion and a second icon indicating a second mounting portion; receive, via the input device, a user selection of one of the first icon and the second icon that are displayed; and based on the user selection of the first icon being received: control the display to distinguish the first icon that is displayed, from the second icon that is displayed, by displaying the first icon in a first color different than a second color of the second icon; receive, via the input device, a user selection the first x-ray detector among the plurality of x-ray detectors; control the display to display an icon corresponding to the selected first x-ray detector; control the display to display an icon indicating a color corresponding to the selected first x-ray detector; ### Claim 2 An x-ray imaging apparatus comprising: a plurality of x-ray detectors; a display; an input device; and a controller configured to control the display to display colors of the plurality of x-ray detectors, wherein the input is configured to receive a first user selection of one of the colors of the plurality of x-ray detectors that are displayed, and the controller is further configured to, in response to the first user selection being received, control the display to, while the color corresponding to the first user selection is displayed, display a first icon indicating a first mounting portion in which a first x-ray detector, among the plurality of x-ray detectors, is mountable, the first x-ray detector having the color corresponding to the first user selection such that the first icon is selectable and second icon indicating a second mounting portion in which the first x-ray detector is not mountable such that the second icon is not selectable. ### Claim 3 An x-ray imaging apparatus comprising: a plurality of x-ray detectors; a display; an input device; and a controller configured to control the display to display any one or any combination of shapes, resolutions, and response times of the plurality of x-ray detectors, wherein the input device is configured to receive a first user selection of one of the shapes, the resolutions, and the response times of the plurality of x-ray detectors that are displayed, and the controller is further configured to, in response to the first user selection being received, control the display to, while the any one or any combination of the shapes, the resolutions, and the response times of the plurality of x-ray detectors are displayed, display a first icon indicating a first mounting portion in which a first x-ray detector, among the plurality of x-ray detectors, is mountable, the first x-ray detector corresponding to the one of the shapes, the resolutions, and the response times of the plurality of x-ray detectors that is selected and a second icon indicating a second mounting portion in which the first x-ray detector is not mountable. ### Claim 4 A method of controlling an x-ray imaging apparatus, the method comprising: displaying GUI(Graphing User Interface) to receive a first condition to search for one or more x-ray detectors among the plurality of x-ray detectors, the first condition comprising any one or any combination a size, a color, a shape, resolution, a response time, and a first diagnosis room of the one or more x-ray detectors; receiving the first condition and receiving an input to search for the one or more x-ray detectors, based on the first condition that is received from a user; in response to there being a first x-ray detector corresponding to the first condition that is received, displaying a first icon indicating a first mounting portion in which the first x-ray detector, among the plurality of x-ray detectors, is mountable, such that the first icon is selectable, the first x-ray detector corresponding to the first condition and a second icon indicating a second mounting portion in which the first x-ray detector is not mountable such that the second icon is not selectable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising, in response to there being no x-ray detector corresponding to the first condition that is received, among the plurality of x-ray detectors, displaying a second detector corresponding to a second condition similar to the first condition that is received, among the plurality of x-ray detectors. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising, in response to there being no x-ray detector corresponding to the first condition that is received comprising the first diagnosis room, among the plurality of x-ray detectors: receiving information of a second diagnosis room in which a second x-ray detector corresponding to a second condition is positioned from a server; displaying the information of the second diagnosis room. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising, in response to there being a first x-ray detector corresponding to the first condition that is received, displaying at least one modality in which the first x-ray detector is usable. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising receiving a second user selection of the at least one modality that is displayed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising in response to there being the first x-ray detector corresponding to the first condition that is received, displaying a respective mounting portion in which the first x-ray detector is mountable, for each modality.
