ABSTRACT:
In a digital X-ray apparatus for exposing an X-ray transmitted through an object onto a photostimulable phosphor plate, for scanning the photostimulable phosphor plate by an excitation beam, and for obtaining an X-ray image, the digital X-ray apparatus includes a switch unit connected to a storage unit and switching between a standard photographing mode and an actual photographing mode; a correction coefficient conversion unit converting the X-ray image data to an image data having a standardized lightness; a first storage unit storing an initial correction coefficient after standardization in the correction coefficient conversion unit; a second storage unit storing a correction coefficient after standardization in the correction coefficient conversion unit; a detection unit comparing a value of the correction coefficient from the second storage unit with a value of the initial correction coefficient from the first storage unit, and detecting whether or not a difference between the value of the correction coefficient at each picture element and the value of the initial correction coefficient at each picture element exceeds a predetermined threshold value; and a generation unit displaying a number of abnormal picture elements detected by the detection unit and generating an alarm message when the number of abnormal picture elements exceeds a predetermined number, the predetermined number being defined by a ratio of the number of abnormal picture elements to the number of all the picture elements.
