Abstract
Disclosed are an X-ray imaging apparatus capable of acquiring highly accurate three-dimensional surface data as well as a CT image of teeth and surrounding tissues thereof of a subject without increasing the dose of X-ray and the discomfort for the subject compared to conventional CT imaging, and an X-ray imaging method using the same. The X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator; an X-ray sensor disposed to face the X-ray generator, and configured to receive X-rays transmitted through a subject to generate an electric signal, and a subject jig configured to support the subject and to move the subject to be relatively rotated about at least two axes with respect to an X-ray propagation path, wherein a CT image and high-precision three-dimensional surface data are reconstructed and provided by using a plurality of X-ray imaging data acquired through a plurality of scan sequences.
