X-RAY IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF GENERATING STEREOSCOPIC IMAGE
First Claim
1. An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- a first X-ray generator which is configured to emit first X-rays toward a target object at a first emission angle;
at least a second X-ray generator which is configured to emit second X-rays toward the target object at a second emission angle which is different from the first emission angle;
a detector which is configured to detect the first X-rays and the second X-rays which have propagated through the target object;
an image processor which is configured to acquire a first X-ray image from the detected first X-rays and to acquire at least a second X-ray image from the detected second X-rays, and to generate a stereoscopic image by using the acquired first X-ray image and the acquired at least second X-ray image; and
a display which is configured to display the generated stereoscopic image.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are an X-ray imaging apparatus and a method for generating a stereoscopic image by using the apparatus. The stereoscopic image generation method includes emitting first X-rays toward a target object at a first emission angle, detecting the first X-rays which have propagated through the target object in order to acquire a first X-ray image, emitting second X-rays toward the target object at a second emission angle which is different from the first emission angle, detecting the second X-rays which have propagated through the target object in order to acquire at least a second X-ray image, and generating a stereoscopic image based on the first X-ray image and the at least second X-ray image.
