Benefits of technology

The invention prevents errors from being made during surgery due to incorrect input or mistakes caused by operators who are trying to distinguish between different types of breast tissue. This helps reduce any potential issues with surgeries such as complications or misinterpreted data.

Problems solved by technology

This patented describes how x- ray scanning equipment used for medical purposes helps identify differences among objects' internal structures during examinations such as mammae detection (mamarians). However, it does require manual intervention when identifying specific parts of these orgasms due to their unique features like shape and thickness.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]Certain exemplary embodiments are described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the following description, the same drawing reference numerals are used for the same elements even in different drawings. The matters defined in the description, such as detailed construction and elements, are provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of exemplary embodiments. Thus, it is apparent that exemplary embodiments can be carried out without those specifically defined matters. Also, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure exemplary embodiments with unnecessary detail.

[0031]FIG. 1 illustrates an X-ray imaging apparatus for mammography according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0032]An X-ray imaging apparatus 10 for mammography, among various kinds of X-ray imaging apparatuses, has a structure specialized to image breasts. As illustrated in FIG. 1, an X-ray source 12 and an X-ray detector 14 are connected

Abstract

An X-ray imaging apparatus automatically distinguishes between right and left breasts during mammography. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes: an X-ray assembly configured to press a breast, irradiate X-rays onto the pressed breast, and detect X-rays transmitted through the breast; two handles respectively provided in both sides of the X-ray assembly so that a patient is able to grip the handles, each handle including a sensor for detecting the patient's grip; and a controller configured to determine a position of a handle including the sensor that has detected the patient's grip, and to determine that a breast subject to mammography is a breast corresponding to the determined position.
