Abstract
Method and apparatus for visualization of a touch panel to object distance (TOD) in X-ray imaging. The method includes: obtaining a three-dimensional image of a to-be-detected subject that includes an object; determining a TOD; generating a first identifier at a position of a touch panel in the three-dimensional image; and generating a second identifier in the three-dimensional image, where a distance between the first identifier and the second identifier corresponds to the TOD.
