Abstract:
An X-ray tube billing system for a fluoroscopic apparatus for non-destructive inspection configured to perform X-ray fluoroscopy on a subject using an X-ray tube includes a fluoroscopy time detector configured to detect a length of time during which the X-ray fluoroscopy has been performed using the X-ray tube, and a billing amount calculator configured to calculate a billing amount related to use of the X-ray tube based on the length of time during which the X-ray fluoroscopy has been performed, which is detected by the fluoroscopy time detector.
