Abstract
This X-ray apparatus for measuring a substance quantity includes: an X-ray irradiating unit for irradiating X-rays from above or below a container which contains a substance to be measured; an imaging unit which is disposed so as to face the X-ray irradiating unit with the container between the imaging unit and the X-ray irradiating unit, and which obtains image data on the basis of the transmitted X-rays passing through the container; and a substance quantity calculating unit which processes the obtained image data and calculates the quantity of the substance to be measured, on the basis of the intensity of the transmitted X-rays for each pixel in the container.
