Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for providing a three-dimensional (3D) image. A plurality of first projection images may be created by detecting X-rays which are emitted toward an object at different angles. A plurality of second projection images with respect to a partial volume of the object may be created by applying a forward projection and interpolation to at least one of the plurality of first projection images. A left image and a right image may be selected from among the plurality of second projection images, and the selected left image and right image may be displayed for a user as a 3D projection image.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A radiographic imaging control method includes combining a plurality of images by applying a first weight to the plurality of images, displaying a composite image, acquired by combining the plurality of images, newly receiving a second weight with respect to the composite image, recombining the plurality of images based on the received second weight, and displaying a recombined image, acquired by recombining the plurality of images.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an X-ray imaging apparatus for providing information about accurate breast density, and a control method of the X-ray imaging apparatus. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes a reconstructing unit configured to reconstruct volumes relating to an object from an X-ray image of the object, a first reference image of the object generated based on the object being of only adipose tissue, and a second reference image of the object generated based on the object being of only fibroglandular tissue, and a density calculator configured to calculate a density of the object that is a ratio of fibroglandular tissue of the object with respect to entire tissue of the object using the reconstructed volumes of the object.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a display apparatus which facilitates a simultaneous comparison of a plurality of images which respectively illustrate different features on one divided display screen such that the images are seamlessly displayed on the screen, and an image display method which is performable by using the apparatus. The display apparatus includes a memory configured to store a plurality of different types of images of an object, an input device configured to receive an input of a command relating to simultaneously displaying the different types of images, and a display device configured to display images. Upon receiving the command, the display device divides a screen upon which an image of the object is displayable into a first region within which a first image showing one portion of the object is displayed and a second region within which a second image showing the remaining portion of the object is displayed.
Abstract:
An X-ray imaging apparatus and method for controlling the X-ray imaging apparatus are provided. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source configured to generate and emit X-rays onto an object, an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-rays transmitted through the object and convert the X-rays into an electrical signal, a heating portion located at an upper portion of the X-ray detector configured to contact a lower part of the object, a heat transfer portion configured to transfer heat produced in the X-ray source to the heating portion, and a thermal insulation member located between the X-ray detector and the heating portion configured to block heat from being transferred to the X-ray detector.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an X-ray imaging apparatus. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes at least one X-ray emitter which is configured to irradiate an object with X-rays at a plurality of X-ray emission positions, an X-ray detector which is configured to detect X-rays which are emitted by the X-ray emitter and to convert the detected X-rays into an electric signal, and an image processor which is configured to acquire a plurality of original X-ray images which respectively correspond to the X-ray emission positions from the generated electric signal and to estimate a virtual X-ray image which is acquirable at an X-ray emission position located between at least two of the plurality of X-ray emission positions, based on at least two of the original X-ray images.
Abstract:

Abstract:
An X-ray imaging apparatus includes: an X-ray source configured to irradiate X-rays to an object; an X-ray detector configured to obtain a first X-ray image of the object; a noise-reduced image creator configured to generate a noise-reduced image in which a noise is reduced from the first X-ray image; a noise image creator configured to generate a noise image based on differences between the first X-ray image and the noise-reduced image; an edge image creator configured to generate, from the noise image, an edge image in which edges are enhanced; an output image creator configured to combine the noise-reduced image with the edge image to generate a second X-ray image; and a display configured to display the second X-ray image. By enhancing edges while reducing noise, an image with high definition and high quality may be output and a user can obtain accurate information from the image.
