    摘要: The invention relates to an X-ray source (2) for an imaging device comprising at least three electrodes; a power supply configured to provide a primary gap voltage between a first (13) and a second (12) electrode among said at least three electrodes, said primary gap voltage having an AC component, causing a transport of electrons from the first electrode toward the second electrode; and a controller configured to supply a variable potential on a third electrode (14) among said at least three electrodes, wherein the X-ray source is configured to generate an X-ray beam with an energy spectrum based on the voltage difference between the first electrode and the second electrode, and wherein the controller is configured to set the variable potential on the third electrode to a value causing at least a partial blocking of said transport of electrons, whenever a predetermined condition is met.

    摘要: A method of controlling a power system of an X-ray tube (50) is provided to supply power to the X-ray tube (50) and control the emission operation of the X-ray tube (50). The method includes following steps: First, it is to judge whether a high voltage operation of the X-ray tube (50) is started up (S103). Afterward, a high voltage reference signal (S HVRF ) is gradually increased when the high voltage operation of the X-ray tube (50) is started up (S105). Afterward, it is to judge whether the high voltage reference signal (S HVRF ) is increased to an upper limit voltage level (V H ) (S106). Finally, the emission operation of the X-ray tube (50) is executed when the high voltage reference signal (S HVRF ) is increased to the upper limit voltage level (V H ) (S108).

    摘要: Portable x-ray devices and methods for using such devices are described. The devices (10) have an x-ray tube (30) powered by an integrated power system (34, 40). The x-ray tube is shielded with a low-density insulating material containing a high-Z substance. The devices can also have an integrated display component (60). With these components, the size and weight of the x-ray devices can be reduced, and the portability of the devices enhanced. Thus, the portable x-ray devices are especially useful for applications where portability is an important feature such as in field work, remote operations, and mobile operations such as nursing homes, home healthcare and teaching classrooms. This portability feature can be particularly useful in multi-suite medical and dental offices where a single x-ray device can be used in multiple offices instead of single using an x-ray device in each office.

    摘要: The invention relates to an X-ray tube which includes a device for at least substantially protecting an object to be examined against the incidence of undesirable X-rays (E) which can be produced notably by the decay of a residual or surplus charge present in a high-voltage circuit after an X-ray exposure. To this end there is provided at least one device (341, 342) for deflecting and/or defocusing the electron beam (E) produced by the residual and/or surplus charge in such a manner that at least it is not incident to a significant extent on a region (22) of an anode (2) wherefrom X-rays excited thereby are directed towards an object to be examined.

    摘要: A number of randomly distributed pixels in a solid state X-ray imager are designated reference pixels. The distribution of reference pixels may be either totally random or in a limited number of rows or columns. The reference pixels may include predetermined pixels or pixel like elements located in rows or columns distributed in at least two different locations on the sensor. The reference pixels are well distributed to avoid missed exposures due to shading of the reference pixels by dense objects. To determine commencement of exposure the reference pixels are continuously monitored for signal. If the signal level in a predetermined minimum number of pixels exceeds the predetermined threshold, an image capture sequence starts. Otherwise, the entire image sensor is cleared and the signal monitoring continues. The threshold level is set to prevent accidental triggering by dark current at all operating temperatures of interest. Image readout is either initiated after waiting a fixed amount of time or by monitoring the change in the accumulated signal at the reference pixels. If the signal no longer changes then it is determined that the X-ray pulse has terminated and readout can be initiated.
