Abstract:
1. A method for obtaining an X-ray image using an X-ray diagnosis apparatus including a first imaging system including a first X-ray tube and a first X-ray detector and a second imaging system including a second X-ray tube and a second X-ray detector, the method comprising: collecting scatter data using the second X-ray detector after at least one X-ray is irradiated from the first X-ray tube; collecting scatter data using the first X-ray detector after at least one X-ray is irradiated from the second X-ray tube and subsequently collecting the scatter data using the second X-ray detector; collecting, substantially simultaneously, image data including a scatter component using the first and the second X-ray detectors; and obtaining X-ray images imaged using the first imaging system and the second imaging system by subtracting the scatter data collected by the first and second X-ray detectors from the image data including the scatter component collected by the first and second X-ray detectors, wherein a collection time of the scatter data is shorter than a collection time of the image data including the scatter component.
