    摘要: A radiation converter includes a radiation absorber for generating light photons dependent on the intensity of incident radiation following the radiation absorber by a photocathode, an electrode system for accelerating the electrons emanating from the photocathode onto an electron detector for generating electrical signals dependent on the incident electrons, and an electron multiplier arranged between the photocathode and the electron detector. The electrons emanating from the photocathode are multiplied by the electron multiplier.

    摘要: An X-ray diagnostic installation has a storage luminescent screen for the latent storage of an X-ray image, an X-ray exposure unit for generating an X-ray beam, a readout system for causing the storage luminescent screen to luminesce by being scanned with a radiation source, a detector for acquiring the light emitted by the storage luminescent screen, and an image playback system. In a first operating mode, the X-ray exposure unit produces X-ray images with a first dose and the readout system implements a fast readout of the image area of the storage luminescent screen with low resolution. In a second operating mode, the X-ray exposure unit produces X-ray images in a limited region with a higher dose compared to the first dose, and this region of the image area of the storage luminescent screen is read out with high resolution.

    摘要: X-ray tube with flying focus has a magnet system for deflecting and focusing the electron beam, whereby the magnet system including a carrier that is constructed as an iron yoke and that has four pole projections that are arranged around the axis of the electron beam offset from one another by 90°, on which two pairs of coils (z-coils and &phgr;-coils) are arranged so as to be offset from one another 90°. The individual coils of each pair supplied with a common high-frequency alternating current that deflects the electron beam in the &phgr;-and z-directions, respectively, in a pulsed manner.

    摘要: An x-ray radiator has a rotary-bulb tube, whose vacuum enclosure rotates inside a radiator housing, which is filled with a liquid cooling medium, and a cooling medium conducting body is arranged between the vacuum enclosure and the radiator housing, at a distance from both of these. The cooling medium conducting body produces a flow of the cooling medium along the vacuum enclosure in the inner gap and a return flow of the cooling medium along the radiator housing in the outer gap, promoted by the rotation of the rotary-bulb tube.

    摘要: A fluorescent X-ray emitting source has an unfocused, omni-directionally radiating electron source and an anode target for the generation of X-ray bremsstrahlung, which releases mono-energetic X-rays in a fluorescent target. The electron source and the fluorescent target are arranged in a vacuum housing with an X-ray exit window. The housing has an interior wall surface forming the anode target and the fluorescent target is aligned with the X-ray exit window.
