Patent ID: 8254525

Claim:
An X-ray scanning system, comprising: an X-ray irradiation unit for generating an X-ray and irradiating on an object with the X-ray; a digital image panel for acquiring X-ray image data of the object by sensing an intensity of the X-ray transmitted through the object and converting the intensity of the X-ray to an electrical signal; a management computer for managing the digital image panel; a hand-held switch unit for inputting a first user command and a second user command; a synchronization unit for preheating the X-ray irradiation unit in response to the first user command inputted from the hand-held switch unit, and generating a synchronization command signal in response to the second user command inputted from the hand-held switch unit; and a control unit for synchronizing the X-ray irradiation unit and the digital image panel in response to the synchronization command signal received from the synchronization unit, and then generating and sending a synchronization completion signal to the synchronization unit.
