Abstract
An apparatus and a method of processing a medical image are provided. The apparatus is configured to generate a cross-sectional image of an object by transmitting X-rays through a region of the object, and includes an X-ray generator configured to generate the X-rays. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to determine sub-regions included in the region, based on positions of body parts included in the region, determine image qualities of the sub-regions based on types of the body parts included in the sub-regions, control doses of the X-rays based on the image qualities, and control the X-ray generator to transmit the controlled X-rays to the region.
