Abstract
An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator configured to generate X-rays and radiate the X-rays to an object; an X-ray detector configured to detect the X-rays that have passed through the object and convert the X-rays into a signal; and a controller configured to generate a single energy X-ray image and multiple energy X-ray images including a first X-ray image generated using an X-ray having determined energy band that is extracted from the X-rays detected by the X-ray detector. The multiple energy X-ray images further include a second X-ray image in which a specific substance is separated, which is image is generated using the image signals corresponding to the energy bands from the detected X-rays, respectively, and the controller is further configured to control a display to display the single energy X-ray image and the first X-ray image and the second X-ray image on a screen of the display.
