Claim:
1. An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising: an X-ray generator including a first X-ray source configured to irradiate a first X-ray onto an object, and a second X-ray source which is spaced apart from the first X-ray source and configured to irradiate a second X-ray onto the object; an X-ray detector configured to detect the first X-ray which has been transmitted through the object and the second X-ray which has been transmitted through the object; an image processor configured to produce a first X-ray image of the object based on the detected first X-ray, to produce a second X-ray image of the object based on the detected second X-ray, and to produce a stereoscopic image of the object based on the first X-ray image and the second X-ray image; an input device configured to receive, from a user, at least one from among a radiography mode selection command, a translation command for translating the first X-ray source and/or the second X-ray source, and a rotation command for rotating the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector; and a controller configured to control the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector based on a command which is received via the input device.
