Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for determining a touch panel to object distance (TOD) in X-ray imaging. This includes obtaining a three-dimensional image of a to-be-detected subject that includes an object; determining a source to image distance (SID) and a touch panel to detector distance (TDD); determining, based on the three-dimensional image, a distance between a light source of a camera assembly that captures the three-dimensional image and a predetermined key point located on a surface of the to-be-detected subject, where the predetermined key point corresponds to an X-ray imaging protocol; and determining the TOD based on the SID, the TDD, and the distance between the light source and the predetermined key point. The implementations of the present disclosure implement automatic measurement of a TOD, reduce the complexity, and further improve the accuracy of the TOD.
