Methods and systems are provided for increasing a quality of computed tomography (CT) images generated by a CT system by altering a shape of a focal spot of an X-ray emitter of the CT system. In one embodiment, a method comprises controlling the CT system to focus a beam of electrons generated by a cathode of the CT system at a plurality of focal spots on a surface of an target of the CT system (904, 914); generating a composite focal spot from the plurality of focal spots; and obtaining projection data of the CT system with the composite focal spot (920). For example, two focal spots may be combined to generate the composite focal spot. By combining focal spots to generate composite focal spots, a quality of a resulting view produced by the CT system may be increased.

摘要:
A nondestructive inspection apparatus with integrated power supply comprises a molded power supply section (14) having a resin-molded high voltage (e.g. 160 kV) generating section (15) secured to the base of a tubular section (2). The durability and handlability are improved by omitting a high voltage cable. Since the high voltage generating section (15) is confined in a molding resin, the degree of freedom in the arrangement of the high voltage generating section (15) within the mold is enhanced significantly. Furthermore, an X-ray generating unit (1) can be installed stably in the nondestructive inspection apparatus (70) by disposing the heavy molded power supply section (14) under a target (10).

摘要:
An X-ray imaging system includes an vacuum tube, which is biased by a high voltage power supply connected to the tube by two shielded cables. The cables collectively have a plurality of conductors which are coupled at one end to the high voltage power supply. The other end of each conductor is coupled to a component of the vacuum tube by a separate inductor. During a voltage breakdown of the vacuum tube, the inductors depress electrical current flow between the anode and the cathode of the tube to reduce the erosion of tube components which results from the discharge. This current is in part due to the energy stored in the cable, which is not depressed by conventional current limiting circuits in the high voltage power supply. Voltage limiting devices connected to the tube prevent ringing in the cables from generating excessively high voltage levels.
