A system receives captured images of the object and supplies these to an image recognition model to identify whether or not an unintended part of an operator (e.g. a hand) is present within the path of an X-ray beam. If the unintended part is present, a control signal is supplied to the imaging apparatus to cause appropriate action to be carried out to reduce or eliminate irradiation to the unintended part. The system subsequently determines whether a predefined condition is met. The predefined condition may, for example, be a failure by the image recognition model to detect the unintended part in subsequent captured images. The imaging apparatus may then be restored to normal operation mode. In this way, the system with a high reliability responds to the presence of an unintended part in the X-ray beam by reducing the irradiation when required, but increasing image quality and size of the imaged region to a preferred level when the unintended part is removed.
