A method for producing a coating of fluorescent or luminophore material includes the steps of depositing the luminophore material from a vapor phase on a substrate in such a manner that at least 30 weight-% of the luminophore material used is deposited on the substrate and then abrading or polishing the luminophore coating to a predetermined even layer thickness utilizing a polishing agent.

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.

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.

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.

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 cooling device for an X-ray source arranged at a gantry rotatable around a rotational axis has a ring-like heat exchanger that is arranged at the gantry and is thermally conductively connected to the X-ray source. The cooling device is useable in a computed tomography apparatus having the X-ray source.
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.
摘要:
A direct-heated flat emitter for generating a homogenous electron beam, particularly for x-ray tubes, has two terminal lugs for the heating current supply formed at the edge of the perimeter of the emission surface and the emission surface is subdivided into interconnects by slits. The slits have a width no less than 10 .mu.m and no greater than 1% of the length of a diagonal of the smallest rectangle which can circumscribe the emission surface.
摘要:
A computed tomography system has a gantry rotating around a patient acceptance space in a stationary gantry housing, the gantry carrying an x-ray radiator connected to a cooling device. The x-ray tube is a directly cooled rotating bulb tube whose coolant serves as an intermediate heat store and which is cooled in standstill periods of the gantry by a likewise co-rotating heat exchanger via a coolant pump.
