Abstract

An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an X-ray generator including a plurality of X-ray sources, an X-ray detector configured to detect X-rays radiated from the plurality of X-ray sources and generate a plurality of pieces of projection data, and a processor configured to apply log projection to each of the plurality of pieces of projection data, to apply weighted projection to the log-projected projection data, to apply a bidirectional ramp filter to the weighted-projected projection data, and to generate a tomographic image reconstructed based on each of the projection data to which the bidirectional ramp filter is applied.
