X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18026711 Titled 'X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an X-ray imaging device and its control method. The device includes an X-ray generator that emits X-rays, an X-ray detector that captures the emitted X-rays and generates multiple projection data, and a processor that controls the X-ray generator in either a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the X-ray generator emits X-rays for a certain time, while in the second mode, it emits X-rays for half the time of the first mode. The processor then uses the projection data to generate a tomography image.


Original Abstract Submitted

An X-ray imaging device and a control method thereof are provided. The X-ray imaging device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an X-ray generator including at least one X-ray source which radiates X-rays; an X-ray detector which detects X-rays radiated from the X-ray generator to generate multiple pieces of projection data; and a processor which controls the X-ray generator to be in one mode among a first mode in which the X-ray generator radiates X-rays for a first radiation time and a second mode in which the X-ray generator radiates X-rays for a second radiation time corresponding to half of the first radiation time, and generates a tomography image on the basis of the multiple pieces of projection data generated through the X-ray detector.
