Compact and lightweight X-ray device

An X-ray device comprising:

• an X-ray generation unit configured to generate a beam of X-rays;
• a collimator configured to regulate an X-ray irradiation region on which the beam of X-rays is irradiated;
• and
• a power source configured to supply electric energy to the X-ray generation unit and the collimator,
• wherein the collimator comprises:
• a shutter arranged around an X-ray irradiation axis for regulating the X-ray irradiation region;
• and
• a laser pointer configured to generate a laser identification mark to indicate the X-ray irradiation region regulated by the shutter, the laser pointer being movable in synchronism with movement of the shutter.

An X-ray device for irradiating a beam of X-rays on an object to capture an X-ray image of the object, comprising:

• an X-ray tube for generating the beam of X-rays and irradiating the beam of X-rays on the object;
• a shutter arranged around an X-ray irradiation axis for regulating an X-ray irradiation region on which the beam of X-rays is irradiated through the object;
• and
• a visual indicator unit arranged on the shutter for movement together with the shutter, the visual indicator unit being configured to visually indicate the X-ray irradiation region.

An X-ray device for irradiating a beam of X-rays on an object to capture an X-ray image of the object, comprising:

• an X-ray tube configured to generate the beam of X-rays and configured to irradiate the beam of X-rays on the object;
• an irradiation region setting unit configured to preset the size of an X-ray irradiation region on which the beam of X-rays is irradiated through the object;
• a shutter arranged around an X-ray irradiation axis for regulating the X-ray irradiation region depending on the size preset by the irradiation region setting unit;
• and
• a laser pointer arranged on the shutter for visually indicating the X-ray irradiation region, the laser pointer being movable in synchronism with movement of the shutter.
