Provided is an intraoral X-ray imaging apparatus for detecting X-ray outside an oral cavity, including: a frame; an X-ray irradiator which is installed to be supported by the frame and of which the one end portion is inserted into the oral cavity and which irradiates X-ray through an X-ray irradiation hole formed on the one end portion inserted into the oral cavity; and an X-ray detector which is arranged to be separated from the X-ray irradiator in the frame so as to detect the X-ray irradiated from the X-ray irradiator outside the oral cavity and which is movably installed so as to adjust a distance to the X-ray irradiator. In the X-ray imaging apparatus and an imaging method using the X-ray imaging apparatus, since the X-ray irradiator is located inside the oral cavity, it is possible to obtain an image having a high quality with a low X-ray dose and to avoid confusion in image diagnosis by removing a ghost image. In addition, since a distance between the X-ray irradiator and the X-ray detector is minimized, it is possible to obtain images of portions of a tooth with constant magnification and to obtain accurate images without distortion. |
