摘要: According to one embodiment, an X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, a high voltage power supply, and focus size control circuitry. The X-ray tube includes a cathode, an anode, and a deflector configured to deflect the electrons from the cathode. The high voltage power supply generates a tube voltage to be applied between the cathode and the anode. The focus size control circuitry controls a focus size formed in the anode by applying to the deflector a deflecting voltage of a deflecting voltage value based on a tube voltage value of the tube voltage and a predetermined size, in order to form a focus of the predetermined size in the anode during the period where the tube voltage is applied by the high voltage power supply.

摘要: Rise times and fall times provided by a high voltage generator are controlled to maintain image quality during such scans. The rise and fall times are controlled by first measuring rise and fall times at each transition. Then, a closed-loop controller is used to adjust control parameters of the high voltage generator, based on an error determined from the measurement, to achieve substantially constant rise and fall times. This invention may be based on the implementation of two closed-loop controllers on rise and fall time of fast-kV exposures. As a result, image quality may be improved and system calibration time may be reduced.

摘要: A high-voltage generator for an X-ray device includes an input-side inverter unit, an output-side rectifier unit and a transformer connected between the inverter unit and the rectifier unit. The inverter unit is configured to generate two inverter voltages that are phase-shifted with respect to each other. These inverter voltages are transformed by the transformer into two rectifier voltages that are fed to the rectifier unit such that in no-load operation, one of the two rectifier voltages is proportional to the sum of the inverter voltages while the other of the two rectifier voltages is proportional to the difference between the inverter voltages.

摘要: The X-ray tube disclosed herein includes an electron emission part including an electron emission element using a cold cathode; an anode part having an anode surface with which an electron emitted from the electron emission part collides; and a focusing structure disposed between the electron emission part and a target part disposed on the anode surface. The focusing structure has a plurality of focal point areas that are applied with a voltage in a mutually independent manner. The electron emission part has first and second electron beam emission areas that are on/off controlled in a mutually independent manner. The X-ray tube is designed in such a way that a collision area of the electron beam emitted from each of the first and second electron beam emission areas on the anode surface moves in response to a voltage applied to the focusing structure.
