Claim:
1. An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising: an X-ray generator; an input device configured to receive information about an object; a controller configured to conduct a search for a previously obtained X-ray image related to the information about the object and a previously set radiography condition related to the information about the object, and to set a radiography condition for a main-shot based on a result of the search; and an image processor configured to analyze a quality of the previously obtained X-ray image, wherein the controller is further configured to perform a pre-shot by controlling the X-ray generator to irradiate a low dose of X-rays onto the object, if neither the previously obtained X-ray image nor the previously set radiography condition related to the information about the object are found, and to set the radiography condition for the main-shot based on an X-ray image acquired by the pre-shot.
