SYSTEM FOR MEASURING BONE DENSITY BY AUTOMATIC POSITION RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a system for measuring a bone density by automatic position recognition and, more specifically, to a system for measuring a bone density by automatic position recognition, comprising: an X-ray source unit (110) for generating a cone-beam of X-rays; a head unit (100) including a position recognition unit (120) for recognizing a plurality of markers (20), which can be fixed to a subject of measurement, by means of a position recognition camera (10), and for determining the body position information of the subject of measurement; a bed unit (200) which is designed to face the X-ray source unit (110) and includes an X-ray director unit (210) for detecting X-rays that are irradiated by the X-ray source unit (110) and pass through a specific site of the subject of measurement, and for generating a two-dimensional bone image; and a central control unit (300), which is connected via cable or wirelessly to the head unit (100) and the bed unit (200), for controlling the X-ray source unit (110) such that a portion of the body of the subject of measurement to be photographed by a measurer is irradiated with the X-rays according to the body position information determined by the position recognition unit (120), and for determining a bone density by receiving the bone image generated by the X-ray director (210).
