    Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus displays a bone or soft tissue image of an X-ray image, which corresponds to a region selected by a user, thereby reducing a diagnosis time. In addition, an X-ray imaging system transmits a first energy X-ray image and a second energy X-ray image to a central image management system, and a user control apparatus receives the images from the central image management system and displays a bone or soft tissue image corresponding to the selected region, thereby reducing burden imposed on server capacity of the central image management system as well as reducing a diagnosis time.

    Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus and control method thereof precisely designates an imaging region and reduces user fatigue by designating a segmentation imaging region using an image of a target object captured by a camera and automatically controlling an X-ray generator according to the designated segmentation imaging region. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator to perform X-ray imaging of a target object by generating and irradiating X-rays, an image capturer to capture an image of the target object, an image display to display the image captured by the image capturer, an input part to receive designation of a region for which segmentation imaging is to be performed on the image displayed on the image display, and a controller to control the X-ray generator to perform segmentation imaging with respect to the designated region.

    Abstract: A method for calibrating an imaging device comprising a photon counting detector (PCD), the method comprising: providing (i) an X-ray source configured to emit an X-ray beam, (ii) a first detector array configured to be in alignment with the X-ray beam, wherein the first detector array comprises a plurality of energy integrating detectors (EID) for detecting the X-ray beam emitted by the X-ray source, and (iii) a second detector array configured to be in alignment with the X-ray beam, wherein the second detector array comprises a plurality of photo counting detectors (PCD) for detecting the X-ray beam emitted by the X-ray source; detecting an X-ray beam passed through an object to be scanned with the plurality of energy integrating detectors (EID); recording the X-ray beam passed through the object to be scanned and detected by the plurality of energy integrating detectors (EID) as a first data set; detecting an X-ray beam passed through the object to be scanned with the plurality of photo counting detectors (PCD); recording the X-ray beam passed through the object to be scanned and detected by the plurality of photo counting detectors (PCD) as a second data set; generating a mathematical model from the first data set and the second data set so as to derive an attenuation factor; and applying the attenuation factor to the second data set to calibrate the imaging device.
