Disclosed herein is an X-ray image apparatus having an improved rotating unit for preventing a blind spot in which an X-ray-generating unit is not rotated from being generated. The X-ray image apparatus includes an X-ray-generating unit configured to generate X-rays and radiate the X-rays, an X-ray-detecting unit configured to detect the X-rays radiated from the X-ray-generating unit, and a rotating unit configured to rotate the X-ray-generating unit. Here, the rotating unit includes a rotating frame coupled to one side of the X-ray-generating unit; a protrusion configured to protrude from one side of the rotating unit; and a stopper being in contact with the protrusion to halt a rotation of the rotating frame and being provided such that the stopper can be moved in a preset zone. Since the stopper securing the rotating frame of the rotating unit can be moved in the preset zone, it is possible to prevent a blind spot caused by a restriction of the rotation of the rotating frame from being generated.

X-ray image apparatus

A collimator for adjusting the shape of a region irradiated by radiation and a control method thereof. The collimator includes a plurality of irises to adjust the shape of the irradiation region, a light source outputting light to display the irradiation region, a reflective mirror to adjust a path of light radiated from the light source toward the irradiation region, and an image output unit outputting to the irradiation region a visible image representing the shape of a target object for radiography or a mark indicating the center of the radiation region.
