A method of calibrating a system for imaging a subject is provided. The method includes determining a position of an X-ray source of the system operative to transmit X-rays through the subject; and calibrating the position of the X-ray source with respect to a detector of the system, based at least in part on a field of view of the X-ray source, the detector operative to receive the X-rays transmitted by the X-ray source. In embodiments, the method includes positioning an X-ray source of the system via a controller at one or more calibration positions based at least in part on at least one camera of the system. In such embodiments the X-ray source is disposed on a mobile arm and operative to transmit X-rays through the subject, and a field of view of the X-ray source is directed substantially towards the detector at each of the calibration positions.

System and method for calibrating an imaging system

The present invention provides an X-ray equipment and an alignment method thereof. The X-ray equipment comprises a tube, a detector, an LED array, a camera and a display. The LED array is fixed relative to a detection center of the detector, and has a predefined geometric center; the camera is fixed relative to a center of the tube, for photographing the LED array; the display is connected to the camera, for displaying images photographed by the camera, wherein when the center of the tube is aligned with the detection center of the detector, the geometric center of the LED array is located on a specific pixel unit on the display.
