X-RAY IMAGING APPARATUS

Abstract: proposed is a c-arm x-ray imaging apparatus that allows dual-energy tomosynthesis (tomo) imaging using the same driving system as regular tomo imaging. the apparatus includes a c-shaped arm, an x-ray generator disposed at a first end of the c-shaped arm, and an x-ray detector disposed at a second end of the c-shaped arm to face the x-ray generator with a subject in between, wherein the x-ray generator moves back and forth between first and second positions on opposite sides of an initial position and selectively emits x-rays of different first and second energy levels toward the subject, and the x-ray detector receives the x-rays of the first and second energy levels that have passed through the subject.
