Apparatus and method for X-ray detecting

1. An X-ray detecting apparatus for photographing a subject by using an X-ray, comprising:

a detector receiving the X-ray passing through the subject during a window time in which the subject is exposed to the X-ray, and converting the X-ray into an electrical signal in order to output a video signal; and

a central processing unit subtracting an offset video signal determined in accordance with the window time from the video signal in order to generate a real video signal representing an X-ray result of photographing the subject, the central processing unit determining the offset video signal by using a relationship between the window time and a squared value of the offset video signal corresponding to the window time.

2. The X-ray detecting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the relationship between the window time and a squared value of the offset video signal corresponding to the window time is linear.

3. The X-ray detecting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the central processing unit comprises:

a lookup table storing a relationship between the window time and a squared value of the offset video signal corresponding to the window time; and

an image processor generating the real video signal by subtracting the offset video signal from the video signal.

4. The X-ray detecting apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the detector comprises:

an X-ray panel converting the X-ray passing through the subject into a visible ray, and generating an electrical current in accordance with an amount of the visible ray converted; and

an automatic exposure control (AEC) unit receiving the electrical current, determining whether the X-ray of an initial predetermined amount is input to the X-ray panel by using the electrical current, and outputting an auto exposure control signal in order to stop an exposure of the X-ray for the subject when the X-ray of the initial predetermined amount has been input.

5. The X-ray detecting apparatus of claim 4 , wherein

the X-ray panel comprises:

a scintillator converting the X-ray passing through the subject into the visible ray; and

a PIN diode receiving the converted visible ray and generating an electric charge in proportion to the amount of the visible ray.

6. The X-ray detecting apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising

an X-ray generator generating the X-ray and stopping the generation of the X-ray in response to the auto exposure control signal.

7. A method for detecting an X-ray photographing a subject by using the X-ray, comprising:

inputting the X-ray passing through the subject during a window time in which the subject is exposed to the X-ray;

converting the input X-ray into an electrical signal and outputting the electrical signal as a video signal;

determining an offset video signal contained in the video signal in accordance with the window time, the determination of the offset video signal using a relationship between the window time and a squared value of the offset video signal corresponding to the window time; and

subtracting the offset video signal from the video signal in order to generate a real video signal representing an X-ray result for photographing the subject.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein

the relationship between the window time and the squared value of the offset video signal corresponding to the window time is linear.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein,

in the conversion of the X-ray into the electrical signal and the output of the electrical signal as the video signal,

the X-ray passing through the subject is converted into a visible ray, and an electrical current is generated in accordance with an amount of the visible ray converted.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving the electrical current generated, and determining whether the X-ray of an initial predetermined amount is input to the X-ray panel by using the electrical current received; and

stopping the exposure of the X-ray for the subject when the X-ray of the initial predetermined amount has been input.
